Answer:

The correct option is a. Enzymes lower the activation energy of chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Enzymes are molecules, usually proteins, that act as catalysts, that is, they accelerate the chemical reactions that occur in the cells of living organisms, they act on molecules called substrates and each one is linked to a region of the enzyme, called active site, which is the site where catalytic fuction occurs. The catalytic function is to reduce the activation energy necessary to start biochemical reactions, that is to reduce the energy needed to break and create new bonds, allowing the formation of a product to be much faster.
