Answer:
Increases reaction rate by lowring its activation energy.
Step-by-step explanation:
i.e If the chemical reaction completes in 5 hours it means that reaction's activation energy is very high.This factor causes decrease in rate of reaction so to increase reaction rate and to decrease activation energy enzymes or catalyst are added so now reaction will be completed in half hour.This is the importance of enzymes/catalysts.Enzyme and catalyst cann't start reaction but they increase rate of reaction and decrease time to reach equillibrium.
