Answer:
Enzymes
are biocatalysts. They reduce the magnitude of activation energy by providing
alternative path.
For example, in the hydrolysis of sucrose, the enzyme sucrose reduces the
activation energy from 6-22 kJ to 2-15 kJ
. As a result, enzyme
catalysed reactions occur at a much faster rate than the ordinary laboratory
chemical reactions using conventional catalysts.
