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

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

Answer 1

Answer:

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.
