← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an enzyme catalyst degrades?
A)Reaction rate slows considerably✓
B)Equilibrium favors product formation
C)Substrate binding increases significantly
D)Activation energy of reaction decreases
💡 Explanation
When an enzyme denatures, its catalytic function is impaired because the active site disruption prevents it from effectively lowering the activation energy via enzymatic catalysis; therefore the reaction slows, rather than speeding up or altering equilibrium.
