The statement that best describes how enzymes function in the body is: **Enzymes lower the activation energy of reactions.**

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed. They are not consumed in the reaction, meaning they can be used repeatedly for multiple reaction cycles.
