The process of influencing the chemical bonds in a way that lowers the __________ needed to speed up a chemical reaction is called catalysis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "activation energy" is used to describe the amount of energy that must be supplied to a chemical reaction in order for it to proceed. Catalysis involves lowering this activation energy, making it easier for the reaction to happen. The other choices - heat energy, free energy, and enzyme - are related to catalysis but not specifically to the process of lowering activation energy.
