In an organic chemistry reaction involving enzymes, what happens to the amount of enzyme present during the reaction?
A
The amount of enzyme fluctuates depending on the reaction conditions.
B
The amount of enzyme remains unchanged as it acts as a catalyst.
C
The amount of enzyme increases as it is produced during the reaction.
D
The amount of enzyme decreases as it is consumed in the reaction.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of enzymes in a reaction: Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process.
Recognize that catalysts, including enzymes, are not used up in the reaction. They facilitate the conversion of substrates to products and remain unchanged at the end of the reaction.
Consider the nature of enzyme-catalyzed reactions: Enzymes provide an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy, allowing the reaction to proceed more quickly.
Evaluate the options given: The amount of enzyme remains unchanged as it acts as a catalyst, which aligns with the definition and role of enzymes in reactions.
Conclude that the correct understanding is that the amount of enzyme remains unchanged during the reaction, as it is not consumed or produced in the process.
