Enzymes are biochemical catalysts that:
1. can change the equilibrium position of the reaction it catalyses by lowering the energy of activation of that reaction.
2. can lower the energy of activation of the reaction it catalyses by increasing the molecular collisions between the molecules.
3. lower the free energy difference between substrate(s) and product(s) but it cannot change the equilibrium position of the reaction it catalyses.
4. cannot change the equilibrium position of the reaction it catalyses but it lowers the energy of activation of that reaction.
