following statement(s) correctly describes what would happen if you added the
enzyme sucrase to a solution of sucrose?
All of the other three statements are correct.
The activation energy of the reaction would increase.
The AG of the reaction would become more negative (i.e., a larger negative
number).
The rate of sucrose hydrolysis would increase.
