Enzymes act as catalysts that remain unmodified as they increase the rate of a chemical reaction.

Answer: Enzymes act as catalysts that remain unmodified as they increase the rate of a chemical reaction.

Explanation: Enzymes are known as biocatalysts because they are the substances which are just used to increase the rate of the reaction by decreasing the activation energy.

The catalyst does not alter the temperature neither they modify themselves, they just change the path of the reaction which can increase the rate of the reaction.
