Question

fill in the blank question

enzymes typically lower the blank energy needed for a reaction to proceed.

Explanation:

Identify the role of enzymes in chemical reactions

Enzymes function as biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions by lowering the energy barrier required to initiate the reaction.

Determine the specific term for this energy barrier

The minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction is defined as the activation energy.

Answer:

Enzymes typically lower the <blank>activation</blank> energy needed for a reaction to proceed.
