Enzymes speed up reactions by

Araising the concentration of substrate inside the cell
Blowering the activation energy of the reaction
Cproviding reaction energy directly
Dmaking the products less stable
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. lowering the activation energy of the reaction
An enzyme reduces the activation-energy barrier by holding substrates in a favourable geometry and stabilising the transition state. The enzyme itself is unchanged. Substrate concentration is set by the cell, not the enzyme reactions don't get energy 'from' the enzyme product stability depends on the reaction, not the catalyst.
