which of the following is false: -the activation energy for a one step reaction

Question

which of the following is false:
-the activation energy for a one step reaction is the energy required to reach the transition state
-higher collision frequency results in faster rates
-the transition state for a reaction is the lowest energy structure intermediate between reactants and products
-for similar biomolecular reactions, rate constants typically decrease as the size and complexity of the reactants increase
-it is often found that the rates of reaction generally increase with an increase in temp

Explanation / Answer

Solution :-

The transition state is the highest energy state so the statement given regarding the transition state is incorrect.

So the answer is

the transition state for a reaction is the lowest energy structure intermediate between reactants and products
