When asked how enzymes catalyze biological reactions, some students said the following: Amy said that enzymes lower the activation energy needed tor the reaction to progress. Betty said that enzymes help facilitate the transition state between reactants and products. Calvin said that enzymes provide energy for the reaction to proceed. Doug said that enzymes bind up other things that would interfere with the reaction Who is right? Only Amy Only Betty Only Calvin Both Amy and Betty Everyone but Doug Everyone Is right In one way or another

Solution

Both amy and betty are right

enzymes lower the energy of the transition state, an unstable state that products must pass through in order to become reactants.
