HELPPP Question: How does an enzyme affect the activation energy required for the chemical reaction to occur? Explain.


A) Does not change the activation energy
B) Raises the activation energy
C) Lowers the activation energy
D) Eliminates the activation energy

c. lowers the activation energy

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts. Catalysts lower the activation energy for reactions. The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.

1. what is the relationship between the shape of an enzyme and the reactions they catalyze?

2. how does an enzyme inhibitor work?

separate your answers so i dont get confused : )
