Enzymes speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering activation energy, and are not used up in the reaction.

The primary function of an enzyme or any biological catalyst is to increase the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy barrier, thereby facilitating the conversion of substrate molecules into products. This process allows cells to efficiently carry out metabolic reactions necessary for growth, maintenance, and energy production.
