Question

the amount of energy needed for a reaction to take place is the activation energy. enzymes can lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction. which statement describes a way that this could happen? the enzyme separates molecules from each other. some substrate is removed by the enzyme. the enzyme collects atp from cells and then is destroyed. molecules can be brought together so they will bond more easily.

Explanation:

Enzymes act as catalysts. They bring substrates (reactant - molecules) together in the active - site, reducing the energy needed for them to react by facilitating proper orientation for bonding. Separating molecules, removing substrate, or collecting ATP in the described ways are not how enzymes lower activation energy.

Answer:

Molecules can be brought together so they will bond more easily.
