D
Enzyme-catalyzed reaction
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed.
Recognize that enzyme-catalyzed reactions are a specific type of chemical reaction where the enzyme's function can be regulated or altered to control the reaction rate.
Differentiate between the types of reactions listed: Electrophilic addition, Nucleophilic substitution, and Radical polymerization, which are not typically regulated by enzymes.
Identify that the regulation of an enzyme's function is a hallmark of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, which can be influenced by factors such as temperature, pH, and the presence of inhibitors or activators.
Conclude that the type of chemical reaction regulated by altering an enzyme's function is an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, as enzymes are specifically designed to facilitate and regulate biochemical reactions in living organisms.
