yes
Enzymes are catalysts, they reduce the activation energy.
Catalysts actually lower the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction. This makes the reaction happen more easily.
The energy needed to get a reaction started is called activation energy.
A catalyst can increase the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur. Catalysts provide an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy, allowing the reaction to happen more quickly.
Activation energy is the amount of energy needed to start a reaction.
Activation Energy.
activation energy
The activation energy is decreased by a catalyst.
a spontaneous reaction
In chemistry it is called a catalyst. Enzymes decrease the activation energy needed to start a reaction.
The minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called the activation energy. It is the energy required to break the bonds in reactant molecules and initiate the reaction. Once this energy barrier is overcome, the reaction proceeds without additional energy input.
Technically, it isn't "heat" that makes a chemical reaction happen. "Heat" is merely the flow of energy from one place to another. It is the energy itself that causes a reaction to occur. As an increase in temperature occurs, there is an increase in the energy in a group of molecules by making them mover around faster and bum into each other more. This energy is called "Activation energy", and is defined as the amount of energy required to make the reaction start and carry on spontaneously. Higher activation energy implies that the reactants need more energy to start than a reaction with a lower activation energy. With that being said, activation energy is the answer
