Maltase is an enzyme that is thought to be synthesized by cells of the mucous membranes lining the intestinal wall. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of the disaccharide maltose to the simple sugar glucose which is used by cells for energy.
Which of the following is NOT a function of a catalyst?

A. They modify the equilibrium of the reaction

B. They lower the activation energy

C. They are recyclable and are not used up in the reaction

D. They accelerate the chemical reaction

A. They modify the equilibrium of the reaction

Explanation:

Catalysts like Maltase work to increase the reaction time during a reaction and they do this by lowering the activation energy required by the reactants.

Catalysts are recyclable and are not to be used up in the reaction but are merely there to speed it up.

The only option that does not show the purpose of a catalyst is therefore that they modify the equilibrium. Catalysts are not to modify the equilibrium of the reaction as they are neither reactants nor products.

hope it mark me as brainlieast.

i think the answer is g1
