they reduce the activation energy required for the reaction to occur
The energy required to start an enzymatic reaction is called the activation energy. It is the energy needed to initiate the chemical reaction that the enzyme facilitates. Enzymes lower the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, making it easier and faster for the reaction to take place.
they reduce the activation energy required for the reaction to occur
Catalysts increase the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They are not consumed in the reaction, so a small amount of catalyst can be used multiple times. This leads to cost savings and efficiency in industrial processes.
The activation energy barrier in a reaction is also known as the energy barrier or energy threshold. This term refers to the minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur.
