Enzyme decreases the activation energy. The matters react with enzyme with lower activation energy. So, the reaction is faster than without enzyme existed. In the end of the reaction, enzyme re-formed.

There isn`t one answer to your question. But generally enzymes have a specific shape (tertiary structure of protein) which due to side groups at the active site can weaken the bond in question by electrostatic attractions/repulsions so as to lower activation energy.
It helps to have an example to illustrate
