Answer:

B) lower, increase

Step-by-step explanation:

he initial energy input is required to start a reaction is called activation energy. The activation energy lowers the energy required to chemical react happens. The activation energy is lowered by an enzyme which is called a biological catalyst. Thus, the enzyme lowers the activation energy and speeds up the rate of reaction. Reducing activation energy and speeds up the rate of reaction is called catalysis.
