Enzyme 1 catalyzes the reaction A + B ø C + D , Enzyme 2
catalyzes the same reaction but links an exothermic reaction
yielding an additional -0.7 kJ/mol of DG to the forward reaction.
When we compare the rates of the reactions with the two enzymes we
find that

a) reaction 1 will occur more quickly than reaction 2

b) reaction 1 will occur more slowly than reaction 2

c) the reaction will occur at the same rate regardless of which
enzyme catalyzes it

d) insufficient info to judge rate of reaction
