BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes (and other catalysts) act by reducing the activation energy, thereby increasing the rate of reaction. The increased rate is the same in both the forward and reverse directions, since both must pass through the same transition state.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis is a linear metabolic pathway of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that converts glucose into two molecules of pyruvate in the presence of oxygen or two molecules of lactate in the absence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -The type of chemical reactions that are catalyzed by the enzymes are: Hydrolysis. Dehydration Reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reactions by reducing the amount of activation energy needed for reactants to start reacting. Enzymes aren’t changed or used up in the reactions they catalyze, so they can be used to speed up the same reaction over and over again.
