In a laboratory,a biochemical reaction performed outside the human body in the absence of an enzyme proceeds at a rate $10^{-6}$ times slower. If this reaction is performed in the presence of an enzyme,what will be the activation energy of the reaction?

  • A
    $6RT$
  • B
    External pressure is required
  • C
    Different value from the $E_a$ of the laboratory reaction
  • D
    Cannot be determined
