Question

Which of the following correctly explains the role of enzymes in biochemical reactions?

Answer 1

Enzymes provide energy in the form of ATP to lower the activation energy needed for the reaction.

Enzymes bond with one or more reactants and lower the activation energy needed for the reaction.

Enzymes bond with one or more reactants to increase the amount of energy needed for the reaction.

Enzymes provide energy in the form of high-energy chemical bonds to increase the overall energy of a reaction.

Answer 2

It's one of these two, but thats about how much of a clue im going to give you.
Enzymes bond with one or more reactants and lower the activation energy needed for the reaction.
Enzymes bond with one or more reactants to increase the amount of energy needed for the reaction.

Answer 4

If the enzyme sppeds up the reactions, how do u think it gets reflected in terms of energy? increases or decreases the amount of energy required?

Answer 5

I knew that it decreased the needed activation energy but I wasn't sure if it bonded to the molecule.
