Question

Which statement is true regarding the function of a catalyst in a chemical reaction?Enzymes are biological catalysts capable of decreasing the rate of specific biochemical reactions by many orders of magnitude.A catalyst is consumed by the reaction.A catalyst decreases the rate of a reaction.A catalyst provides an alternate mechanism for the reaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

.A catalyst provides an alternate mechanism for the reaction

Explanation:

The catalyst provides a mechanism of reaction having the lowest activation energy. It lowers the energy barrier between reactants and products hence it increases the rate of reaction by several orders of magnitude
