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

- 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.
