← ScienceWhich influence on reaction rate arises when an enzyme's active site stabilizes the transition state?
A)Decreased activation energy is observed✓
B)Increased concentration of reactants occurs
C)A higher reaction temperature results
D)Equilibrium constant value increases more
💡 Explanation
Enzymes catalyze reactions via transition state stabilization: this lowers the *activation energy* because the enzyme provides a lower energy path, therefore reaction rate constants increase rather than alternative direct effects like simple changes in equilbrium.
