Enzyme will catalyse when the substrate come close enough to interact with enzyme's active site (proximity and orientation). The rate of enzymatic reactions is influenced by the condition such as temperature or pH that favors the chemical environment, and when a co-factor is already bound (not for all enzymes).
It lowers the activation energy of the reaction.
The main thing that an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction, is to lower the energy of reaction.

Enzymes are highly efficient catalysts, and only small quantities are needed to catalyze the reaction of relatively large amounts of materials.
specific-meaning it is only able to catalyze a reaction with a certain molecule.

Enzymes are highly efficient catalysts, and only small quantities are needed to catalyze the reaction of relatively large amounts of materials.
An enzyme binds to a specific substrate (reactant) for the reaction catalyzed.
An enzyme catalyzes the reaction by changing the shapes of the molecules that stress the bonds holding together. Therefore the bond is weaker and will break down faster.

First step of glycolysis- the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate.
specific-meaning it is only able to catalyze a reaction with a certain molecule.
