What is the effect of enzymes on activation energy?
A
Enzymes have no effect on activation energy
B
Enzymes lower activation energy
C
Enzymes increases activation energy
D
Enzymes converts activation energy to chemical energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The enzyme speeds up the reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to start. Compare the activation energy with and without the enzyme. Enzymes generally lower activation energy by reducing the energy needed for reactants to come together and react.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes allow activation energies to be lowered. Enzymes lower the activation energy necessary to transform a reactant into a product.

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.
