Enzymes speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the energy of activation (the amount of energy needed to begin a reaction).nzymes speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the energy of activation (the amount of energy needed to begin a reaction).
Enzymes accelerate, or catalyze, chemical reactions. The molecules at the beginning of the process are called substrates and the enzyme converts these into different molecules, called products. Almost all metabolic processes in the cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates fast enough to sustain life.f an enzyme produces too much of one substance in the organism, that substance may act as an inhibitor for the enzyme at the beginning of the pathway that produces it, causing production of the substance to slow down or stop when there is sufficient amount. This is a form of negative feedback.
