Enzymes lower activation energy, requiring less energy for reactions and thus increasing the rate by allowing more particles to react.
Enzymes lower the activation energy, meaning less energy is needed for a reaction to occur, thus increasing the proportion of particles that can react and increasing the rate.
| Front | State what the presence of an enzyme does to the activation energy for the reaction and explain why this increases the rate of reaction. |
