Question

Which could be the catalyst in a chemical reaction? A. reactants B. product C. enzyme D. activated complex

Answer 1

C. Enzyme because they catalyze biochemical reactions

Answer 2

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An enzyme is similar to a catalyst as it helps in increasing the rate of a biochemical reaction.

Also, like catalysts an enzyme does not get consumed in a reaction. They also help in lowering the activation energy and helps the reactant molecules to cross the energy barrier easily so that rate of reaction speeds up.

Thus, we can conclude that an enzyme could be the catalyst in a chemical reaction.
