C) Provide insulation.
Enzymes are catalyst, meaning that the speed up and help during chemical reaction which in turn means that they do prodvide energy to the cell, they do assist in the production of new cell parts and they also control many cell processes.
They do not provide insulation to cells, and that is the function of lipids.

Answer:
The rate would increase.
Explanation:
Activation energy is the energy needed for a chemical reaction to start while the rate of reaction is how a reactant turns into the product. Catalysts are used to speeden up the rate of a chemical reaction.
The catalyst do this by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur, leading to the increase in the rate at which the same reaction occurs. It should be noted that a catalyst is not a reactant, neither does it get used up in the chemical reaction. It just provides an alternative energy pathway with a reduced activation energy, hereby, helping the reaction to proceed faster than it would without the catalyst.
