The correct response is:
Enzymes speed up the reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction.
Enzymes act as catalysts, which means they increase the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed. This allows the reaction to occur more easily and more quickly, without being consumed in the process. The other statements are incorrect with respect to the role of enzymes in chemical reactions.
