Understand that enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process.
Recognize that enzymes work by lowering the activation energy of a reaction, which is the energy barrier that must be overcome for the reaction to proceed.
Note that by decreasing the activation energy, enzymes increase the rate at which the reaction occurs, allowing it to proceed more quickly under the same conditions.
Clarify that enzymes do not change the equilibrium position of a reaction; they only affect the rate at which equilibrium is reached.
Remember that enzymes are not consumed during the reaction, meaning they can be used repeatedly to catalyze multiple reaction cycles.
