Answer:

Enzymes are biological catalysts. Catalysts lower the activation energy for reactions. The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

so saying that its going to lower the activation energy for reactions
