The correct statement about how enzymes work is: **It speeds specific chemical reactions.**

Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions in biological systems without being consumed in the process. They do this by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, allowing the reaction to proceed more quickly and efficiently. Enzymes are also highly specific for their substrates and usually work best under optimal conditions of pH and temperature.
