how do enzymes affect chemical reactions
they increase activation energy
they eliminate activation energy
they lower activation energy
1 answer
Enzymes lower activation energy in chemical reactions. Activation energy is the amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction. By lowering the activation energy, enzymes make it easier for the reaction to take place. This allows the reaction to occur more rapidly and efficiently. Enzymes achieve this by binding to the reactant molecules and altering their structure, making it easier for them to interact and form the products.
