Enzymes lower the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction.
There is no straight forward relation between enzyme and activation energy because although energy of reaction is fixed and is governed by laws of chemistry but for biochemical reactions concentration of enzyme and conc. of substrate affect rate of reaction and energy, but in general enzymes decrease activation energy of reaction.
In chemistry it is called a catalyst. Enzymes decrease the activation energy needed to start a reaction.
Enzymes lower the activation energy (or free energy of activation for the very scientific) of the chemical reactions they catalyse. The enzymes can make a reaction proceed much more quickly than it otherwise would by astronomical figures, e.g. 109 times! Enzymes don't affect the equilibrium position, but they do affect the rate.

a catalyst has no effect in chemical reaction. it only increases or decreases the rate of the chemical reaction.
Activation effect is the effect of spontaneous reactions that release energy. When reactants mix and produce a series of chemical potential energies, the outcome of the reaction results into an activation effect due to the reactions.
Enzyme decreases activation energy by properly orienting substrate molecules If your looking for the answer from modern biology for 2009, then the answer is: The enzyme speeds up metabolic reactions without being permanently changed or destroyed
ITs important becayse enzymes allow chemical reactions to occur at the normal body temperature
Enzymes lower the activation energy (Ea) required for a chemical reaction to occur. By binding to reactant molecules and stabilizing the transition state, enzymes facilitate the formation of products from substrates. This acceleration of the reaction reduces the amount of energy needed to initiate the reaction, making it more favorable and allowing it to occur at a faster rate.
A catalyst decreases the activation energy of a chemical reaction.
