Question

When an enzyme lowers the activation energy of a reaction, what happens? Question options: The reaction speeds up. The reaction slows down. The reaction remains constant. The reaction does not occur.

Answer 1

The reaction speeds up.

Answer 2

The reaction speeds up because the enzyme lowers activation energy, making it faster than if the reaction had to take time to gain activation energy on its own. The enzyme basically lessens the time it needs to take to gain energy
