Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Enzymes are proteins that lower activation energy, speeding up biochemical reactions by binding to specific substrates.


Explanation:

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts, speeding up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.

Enzymes are specific to the substrates they bind to, and they do not increase the activation energy of a reaction but rather decrease it, enabling reactions to proceed more efficiently and at physiological temperatures.
