According to this graph, during a chemical reaction enzymes –

raise the energy produced

decrease the required time

increase the initial-state energy

lower the required activation energy

1 answer

Enzymes in chemical reactions are known to lower the required activation energy. Therefore, according to the context of the graph you are referring to, the correct statement is that enzymes "lower the required activation energy." Enzymes act as catalysts, making it easier for the reaction to occur without altering the overall energy change of the reaction.
