Answer:

By lowering the activation energy

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts. Catalysts reduce the activation energy for reactions. The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the quicker the rate. Common enzymes convert shape when substrates unite. Enzymes lower the activation energy required to turn a reactant into a product. Consequently, an enzyme-catalyzed reaction pathway has a smaller energy activation to succeed ere the reaction can progress. Therefore, enzymes speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy.

Note: Question is incomplete lacking figure. I have added figure with question and answer.

Answer:

E site will be empty as it is exit site for protein synthesis.

P site will have code AUA with three amino acids because it is the site for peptide synthesis.

A site will have UCC code with one amino acid because its the code for serine synthesis. Moreover, A site is binding site for charged t-RNA molecules during protein synthesis.
