Answer:

Enzymes are homogenous, thermolabile,biological catalyst that increases the reaction rate of a chemical reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Enzymes are used as catalyst in many biochemical reactions.Enzymes basically interact in a complementary fashion with the transition state of the reaction thus helping to decrease the energy barrier called activation energy.Thus enzymes helps to stimulate the velocity of biochemical reaction.

It is very important point to note that enzymes do not affect the reaction equilibrium.
