how does the reduction in activation energy by an enzyme affect a chemical reaction?
the products are not stable.
less energy is gained from the reaction.
the reaction is less efficient when the enzyme is present.
the reaction proceeds at a faster rate.
Enzymes are biological catalysts. They lower the activation energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. With a lower activation - energy barrier, more reactant molecules can reach the transition state and react, thus increasing the reaction rate.
