Question

What does an enzyme do in terms of energy requirement of a reaction? What would happen if the enzyme did not play this role?

Answer 1

Enzyme is a protein that accelerates the rate of reactions. It catalyzes the biochemical reaction by lowering the activation energy, the energy required to start a reaction. If the enzyme did not play its role, the reaction would be not catalyzed and the particular body function is either lost or slows down.
