Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
enzymes lower or raise the activation energy
A
rasie
B
lower
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -enzymes will lower the activation time, in addition to lowering the activation energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Straining the reactants and bringing them close together are two common ways the enzymes use to lower the activation energy. There are other methods that the enzymes use to facilitate a chemical reaction. Changing the local environment of the reactants is one of these methods.
