Question

question 12 of 16 > which statement about enzymes is false? enzymes lower activation energy. enzymes can convert an endergonic to an exergonic reaction. enzymes undergo no net chemical change during catalysis. enzymes do not affect the equilibrium point of a reaction. enzymes are highly specific.

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts. They lower activation energy, are highly specific, undergo no net chemical change during catalysis, and do not affect the equilibrium point of a reaction. An endergonic reaction is non - spontaneous and an exergonic reaction is spontaneous. Enzymes only speed up reactions; they cannot change the nature of a reaction from endergonic to exergonic as this is determined by the free - energy change ($\Delta G$) of the reaction.

Answer:

B. Enzymes can convert an endergonic to an exergonic reaction.
