Answer:

Enzymes are one kind of protein which functioning as catalyst  that speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.Enzyme accelerate a reaction without altering its chemical equilibrium.

Explanation:

Energy which is required for  start a biochemical reaction is called activation energy.Activation Energy helps to jump and start a thermodynamically favorable reactions.

Enzymes can  many  way to its activation energy.

1. The enzyme may hold the substrates in such a way as to distort the substrate bonds closer to their form in the transition state. This reduces the amount of energy needed to complete the transition.

2.Enzyme create a charge distributor which opposite of transition state his lowers the energy of the transition state and decreases the activation energy.

3.The enzyme may reduce the reaction entropy   by bringing substrates together in the correct orientation to react.

4. The enzyme may provide a completely different chemical pathway for the reaction. It may form new bonds in the ES complex that would be difficult to form without the enzyme.

This type of energy is thought of as motion. What type of energy is present?<br> 1 point
MatroZZZ [7]

kinetic energy

The energy associated with an object's motion is called kinetic energy. A speeding bullet, a walking person, and electromagnetic radiation like light all have kinetic energy. Another example of kinetic energy is the energy associated with the constant, random bouncing of atoms or molecules.
