azamat

Correct answer: A). The enzyme influences the speed of change from substrate to product

The enzymes are the biological catalyst that speed up the rate of chemical reactions by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction pathway.

They increase the speed of change of substrate to the product and it remains unchanged in the reaction. Hence, it can be used again and again.

Enzymes are highly specific in nature, only a specific substrate binds to the enzyme's active site. Hence, a particular enzyme is required to catalyze a reaction.
