Question

What is activation energy? How do enzymes lower the activation energy?

Answer 1

activation energy, in chemistry is , the minimum amount of energy that is required to activate atoms or molecules to a condition in which they can undergo chemical transformation or physical transport.

Answer 2

Activation energy is the amount of energy required for a particular metabolic process to begin. Enzymes use to lower this amount of energy by joining or biding the reactants of a reaction together to enhance the formation of the products. An example of this could be how insulin helps to move glucose from the extracellular media inside the cell to be used by other enzymes for their reduction in form of AT¨P.
