An Enzyme Reduces the Free Energy of Which of the Following

Question

An enzyme reduces the free energy of which of the following?
A)substrate
B)product
C)transition state
D)cofactor
E)intermediate product

Accepted Answer

Enzymes lower the activation energy of a reaction by stabilizing the transition state, making it easier for the reaction to proceed. They do not directly alter the free energy of the substrate, product, cofactor, or intermediate products.
