Answer:

Enzymes 'reduces the activation energy' of both Exergonic and Endergonic Reaction by acting as a catalyst.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • For example, in the case of 'carbonic anhydrase', enzymes act rapidly causing the chemicals to 'react 107 times faster' than they would normally.
  • Enzymes are substrate specific meaning an enzyme working on one substance may not work on another.
  • Function of the enzyme is identified by its 'shape of the protein' and arrangement of these molecules produces an area called activation site.
