Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase how fast a reaction occurs. They do this by...
a. Decreasing activation energy needed to get the reaction started
b. Increasing the temperature of the substrates
c. Contributing electrons to the reaction
d. Changing the pH of the environment correct answers Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase how fast a reaction occurs. They do this by decreasing the activation energy needed to get the reaction started.
