Which of the following statements about enzyme function in biological systems is FALSE? Enzymes are key components in biological reactions. Which of the following statements about enzyme function in biological systems is FALSE? Enzymes increase the rate of a reaction, but do not change the free energy of a reaction. Enzymes frequently work in metabolic pathways, such that the activity of one enzyme can affect the activity of a second enzyme in the pathway by altering the concentration of a substrate or product of the second enzyme. Enzymes will alter the equilibrium of a reaction such that the enzyme increases the exergonic reaction relative to the endergonic reaction. Even if the enzyme forms a bond with a substrate during a reaction, the enzyme returns to its original form at the end of the reaction.arrow_forward
