Activation Energy Enzyme Meant Presence Affect Marks Minimum

Activation energy is the minimum energy needed to initiate a reaction, and enzymes facilitate reactions by reducing this energy requirement.

Activation energy is the minimum energy required for a reaction to start. Enzymes function by lowering this activation energy, thus speeding up the reaction rate.
