An enzyme catalyses with at . Select the correct statements.

  1. A of the reaction is still in the presence of the enzyme.
  2. BThe equilibrium constant increases because the activation energy is lowered.
  3. CThe reverse reaction is also accelerated.
  4. DThe enzyme is permanently consumed as the reaction proceeds.

Answer: A, C

A catalyst lowers the barrier for both directions without changing the energy of S or P, so and remain the same. The reverse reaction is therefore also faster. The enzyme is regenerated.
