What increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy?
Catalyst.
What can alter the activation energy if a reaction?
A catalyst alter rate of reaction by lowering the activation
Material that increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy?
A catalyst
The primary function of an enzyme or any biological catalyst is to?
Enzymes speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering activation energy, and are not used up in the reaction.
What type of catalyst lowers the energy of activation for a reaction?
That is the definition of a catalyst. A biological catalyst is known as enzymes.
What is the meaning of the word catalyst?
A catalyst speeds up a reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. It is not consumed by the reaction, but rather it leaves the reaction unchanged.
What is the meaning of word catalyst?
A catalyst speeds up a reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. It is not consumed by the reaction, but rather it leaves the reaction unchanged.
Does a catalyst speed up reaction?
Yes, by lowering activation energy, Ea.
What is a substance that speeds up a reaction?
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.
Are enzymes affected by the chemical reaction they speed up?
Enzymes are biological catalysts. A catalyst speeds up a reaction by lowering the activation energy required. In other words a catalyst offers an alternative pathway to increase the rate of reaction- it is not consumed during a reaction, or affected.
What is a biological catalyst that lowers the activation energy of reaction in cells?
It is an enzyme.
What is a catalyst?
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a given chemical reaction by lowering its activation energy without itself being used up.
