Allows more molecules to overcome the activation enthalpy, so there are more molecules available to collide with each other, increasing the chance of a successful collision, increasing the number of collisions per second and with it the rate of reaction.

Why does catalyst affect reaction speed?
The activation energy is reduced.
What is the minimum energy required for molecules to react with each other called?
That is called the activation energy or energy of activation (Ea).
What it the term used to describe the energy needed to get a reaction started?
The energy needed to get a reaction started is called activation energy.
What is activation energy How does a catalyst affect activation energy?
Activation energy is the energy required by a reaction for the reaction to occur. The catalyst lowers the activation energy, making it easier for the reaction to happen.Improvement:A catalyst don't lowers the activation energy. A catalyst creates a alternative route (*) for the same reaction with a lower activation energy.* = as a result of the interaction of the reagents with the catalyst.
What term describes energy that is required to get chemical reactions started?
Activation energy describes the energy that is required to get chemical reactions started.
Why does catalyst affect reaction speed?
The activation energy is reduced.
What happens when an enzyme and a substrate interact at an active site?
Activation energy is reduced! :)
What occurs when an enzyme and a substrate interact at an active transport?
Activation energy is reduced :]
What is the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
activation energy ( I know it is right because it is in my science book)
What is it called when energy is required to start a chemical reaction?
An exergonic reaction is activation energy (or energy of activation). An endergonic reaction is essentially the opposite of an exergonic reaction.
What kind of energy do enzymes reduce?
activation energy activation energy
Is activation energy added or just there?
Activation energy is the amount of energy that should be gained by potential reactants, for a reaction to occur. A reaction can be occurred by reducing the activation energy of the reaction or increasing the activation energy of the reactants. Activation energy should be added.
What is the minimum energy required for molecules to react with each other called?
That is called the activation energy or energy of activation (Ea).
What does an enzyme do to the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
Enzymes are catalysts, they reduce the activation energy.
What does the activation energy for a reaction represent?
Activation energy is the amount of energy needed to start a reaction.
What term is used to describe the minimum amount of energy required in order for a reaction to proceed?
This energy is called "energy of activation", it is used to overcame the energy barrier between reactants and products.
What it the term used to describe the energy needed to get a reaction started?
The energy needed to get a reaction started is called activation energy.
