Which consequence results when the activation energy threshold increases in enzymatic reaction?

A)Reduced catalytic reaction rate occurs✓

B)Increased substrate diffusion efficiently improves

C)Equilibrium constant magnitude increases sharply

D)Enzyme-substrate complex forms more readily

💡 Explanation

A higher activation energy barrier hinders the binding process between enzyme and substrate because the forward reaction slows, therefore the catalytic reaction rate reduces, rather than the backward, affecting final equilibrium position.
