← ScienceWhich mechanism reduces cell reaction activation energy during enzymatic catalysis?
A)Stabilizing transition state intermediates✓
B)Increasing reactant concentrations
C)Raising reaction temperature
D)Altering the reaction equilibrium
💡 Explanation
During enzymatic catalysis, enzymes stabilize transition state intermediates through non-covalent interactions, decreasing energy required. Therefore stabilized intermediates result, rather than altered concentrations, increased temperature, or altered equilibrium, which involve distinct chemical mechanisms.
