An enzyme speeds up a reaction by

• raising the activation energy

• lowering the activation energy

• releasing energy

• absorbing energy.

What happens when enzymes are heated to a high temperature?

• The shape of the enzyme are changed and it denatures

• The enzymes die

• The enzymes' amino acid sequence changes
