Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A fundamental task of proteins is to act as enzymes-catalysts that increase the rate of virtually all the chemical reactions within cells. Although RNAs are capable of catalyzing some reactions, most biological reactions are catalyzed by proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -The reactions are: Oxidation and reduction. Enzymes that carry out these reactions are called oxidoreductases. For example, alcohol dehydrogenase converts primary alcohols to aldehydes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up biochemical reactions in living organisms, often by many orders of magnitude.
