Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur, which allows the reaction to proceed much faster than it would on its own.
According to this passage, how do enzymes speed up a reaction?
- By raising the activation energy required
- By adding extra reactant molecules
- By permanently changing the products of the reaction
- By lowering the activation energy required
