Q. The efficiency of enzyme catalysis is due to its capacity to

A) From a strong enzyme-substrate complex
B) Change the shape of the substrate
C) Lower the activation energy of the reaction
D) Form a colloidal solution in water
Explanation

(c)
The efficiency of enzyme catalysis is due to its capacity to lower the activation energy of the reaction. Enzymes are biocatalysts which increases the rate of reaction without being consumed in the reaction. In case of equilibrium reactions, catalyst help in attaining the equilibrium quickly without disturbing the equilibrium.
