Enzymes lower the activation energy of a reaction. This means that they make it easier for the reaction to occur by decreasing the energy barrier that must be overcome for reactants to convert into products. As a result, reactions can proceed more quickly and at lower temperatures than they would without the presence of the enzyme. Therefore, the correct answer is:
**They lower the activation energy.**
**They lower the activation energy.**
