It speeds up the reaction by lowering activation energy.
to speed up a chemical reaction
An enzyme's specific shape allows it to bind with a substrate molecule, forming an enzyme-substrate complex. This interaction positions the substrate in a way that promotes the chemical reaction to occur more quickly and efficiently by lowering the activation energy required. The unique shape of the enzyme's active site is crucial for catalyzing the reaction with high specificity.
The enzyme is a biochemical catalyst.

the purpose is to accelerate the process of the reaction...
enzyme sped up the chemical reaction
The enzyme reduces the activation energy of the reaction, therefore chemical reaction speeds are increased.
A substrate is the molecule upon which an enzyme acts. It undergoes a chemical reaction to form a product with the help of the enzyme. Substrates typically bind to the active site of an enzyme.
