This question is too general.

Enzymes work by lowering activation energies which, as a result, increase reaction rates.

The amount of activation energy needed when a reaction is catalyzed is different for different reactions.

What are enzymes considered?

Enzymes are considered to be catalysts; they increase the rate of a chemical reaction.


Enzymes are catalysts. How do enzymes increase the reaction rate?

Enzymes are natural catalysts, these natural catalysts speed up reactions.


Which best describes the role of enzymes in chemical reactions?

to increase the reaction rate


Do enzymes slow down or speed up a chemical reaction?

No, the sole purpose of enzymes are to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. Even if they are not at an optimal temperature, they will not slow down the reaction. They won't work as efficiently, but it will still be slightly faster than without the enzymes.


Can enzymes increase the rate of chemical reaction by lowering activation energy barriers?

That's the way they do it


What affect rates does a enzyme catalyzed reaction have?

Enzymes increase the rate of reaction by changing the reaction mechanism to one with a lower activation energy.


How do enzymes affect the rate of reaction?

Enzymes speed up a reaction but they are not changed by the reaction. They are a protein molecule that helps other organic molecules enter into chemical reactions with one another but is itself unaffected by these reactions. In other words, enzymes act as catalysts for organic biochemical reactions.


How do enzymes alter the rate of reaction?

Enzymes make biochemical reactions go much faster - the rate is a million to a billion times enhanced.


What aspect of chemical reaction is affected by enzymes?

The reaction rate is affected by enzymes.


How does the amount of enzymes ect the reaction rate?

the more enzymes, the faster the reaction


What are three reasons why enzymes are important?

Enzymes are biological catalysts. They allow the reaction to occur, basically putting together molecules to allow the reaction to happen. They increase the rate of reaction without changing the outcome of the reaction. Increasing the rate of reaction so these reactions can occur fast enough to support life.


The primary function of an enzyme or any biological catalyst is to?

Enzymes speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering activation energy, and are not used up in the reaction.
