Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a reaction.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is A) the activation energy. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -The reactant is converted into products when the reactant combines with each and overcomes the activation energy which is the minimum energy to form the product. So, the enzymes will decrease the activation energy of the reaction and increase the rate of the reaction.
