by lowering activation energy to increase the reaction
Enzymes are biological catalysts, and can hence lower the activation energy barrier of the reaction that it catalyses. Enzymes do this in several ways:
1) Enzymes can provide a suitable environment for the reaction to take place. The active site of a enzyme can be highly acidic (pH << 7) so as to catalyse some reactions.
2) Enzymes can stretch and bend bonds with their hydrogen and ionic bonds at its active site so as to reduce the energy required to break them.

∙ 12y agoNormally if the reaction takes place without the help of the enzymes it takes much more time and energy
Enzyme reduces the activation energy for the reaction to carry out at less energy
Enzymes form Enzyme-substrate complex than the complex gives rise to product and Enzyme in its Original state
It decreases the time of reaction to carry out

What is the name of the enzyme that doesn't change during a reaction?
Enzymes are organic molecules that are highly specific catylists for biological chemical reactions. Enzymes are not permanently changed by the reactions that they catalyze, although the may transiently change shape a little during the reaction. At the end of the reaction, the enzyme is the same shape that it was at the beginning.
What do enzymes do in the cell?
The enzymes in the cell act as catalysts for chemical reactions. They lower the activation energy of these reactions in order to speed up the reaction rate.
Are antibodies proteins that catalyze chemical reactions without being physically altered?
True
What type of molecule is made from amino acids and acts as a biological catalyst?
Molecules that act as catalysts in biological systems are enzymes. Enzyme catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.
What are enzymes called because they affect the speed of chemical reaction without being consumed?
enzymes are never consumed in a chemical reaction, therefore the answer to your question is that enzymes that affect the speed of a chemical reaction without being consumed are indeed called enzymes.
How a enzymes catalyze a chemical reaction?
they reduce the activation energy required for the reaction to occur
What is a protein that catalyze chemical reaction for organism?
Enzymes are proteins acting as catalysts for organism.
How are enzymes related to macromolecules and chemical reactions?
enzymes catalyze reactions that bind or break chemical bonds. catalyze means it speeds up the preparation time so the reaction can happen sooner/quicker.
Are enzymes permanently changed in the chemical reactions they are involved in?
No. Enzymes are not permanently changed in the chemical reactions in which they are involved. After the reaction, they regain their original shape and are free to catalyze another of the same reaction.
What chemical reduces the amount of activation energy needed for a reaction but is not a reactant?
Enzymes catalyze certain reactions.
The process by which digestive enzymes catalyze the breakdown of larger molecules to smaller molecules with the addition of water is known as?
The reaction would be termed a chemical reaction.
What is part of enzymes name usually derived from?
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells. They are usually named from the reaction that they catalyze.
What part of the membrane can catalyze chemical?
Enzymes
What is the function of enzymes in living thing?
The function of enzymes in living things is to catalyze (instigate, speed up) chemical reactions.
Are enzymes permanently changed in the chemical reactions they aer involved in?
No, enzymes are not permanently changed in the chemical reactions they are involved in. Enzymes are catalysts that facilitate chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy, and they remain unchanged after the reaction takes place. They can be used repeatedly in multiple reactions.
What a protein that can catalyze a chemical reaction?
enzyme
What is a protein that catalyze a chemical reaction?
enzyme
