yes because enzymes are highly weighted proteins which produced from living cells and used in industrial and biological processes
they reduce the activation energy required for the reaction to occur
they reduce the activation energy required for the reaction to occur
Any catalyst will make a chemical reaction easier or quicker to happen by lowering the activation energy. On a energy diagram, you will see a lower "hill" for activation energy, which corresponds to less energy required to begin the reaction.
Enzymes catalyze certain reactions.
Enzymes decrease the activation energy of a chemical reaction. They do this by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy that allows the reaction to proceed more rapidly.
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. An increase in activation energy leads to a decrease in reaction rate. Catalysts lower the activation energy required for a reaction to proceed, increasing the reaction rate. Activation energy does not affect the overall energy change of a reaction, only the speed at which it occurs.
Enzymes catalyze biochemical reaction in organisms by lowering the activation energy to begin a reaction, which, of course, requires some energy input.
An exergonic reaction is activation energy (or energy of activation). An endergonic reaction is essentially the opposite of an exergonic reaction.
The Arrhenius equation is: Ea = -RT ln(k/A) where Ea - activation energy R - universal gas constant ln - logarithm k - speed constant T - temperature in kelvins
A catalyst can increase the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur. Catalysts provide an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy, allowing the reaction to happen more quickly.
Technically, it isn't "heat" that makes a chemical reaction happen. "Heat" is merely the flow of energy from one place to another. It is the energy itself that causes a reaction to occur. As an increase in temperature occurs, there is an increase in the energy in a group of molecules by making them mover around faster and bum into each other more. This energy is called "Activation energy", and is defined as the amount of energy required to make the reaction start and carry on spontaneously. Higher activation energy implies that the reactants need more energy to start than a reaction with a lower activation energy. With that being said, activation energy is the answer
Yes, enzymes can catalyze both forward and reverse reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur in either direction.
