D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Under the conditions inside living cells, biochemical reactions would occur too slowly to support life without the help of enzymes. Enzymes increase the rate of biochemical reactions by reducing the amount of activation energy needed for reactants to start reacting.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes allow reactions to occur at the rate necessary for life. In animals, an important function of enzymes is to help digest food. Digestive enzymes speedup reactions that break down large molecules of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into smaller molecule s the body can use.
