Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzymes lower the activation energy required for a chemical reaction to occur, which allows the reaction to happen more quickly and efficiently. This is achieved by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy, speeding up the formation of the transition state and facilitating the conversion of substrate(s) to product(s). Lowering activation energy does not change free energy, entropy, temperature or equilibrium of the reaction.
