ENZYMES

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what are enzymes?
A
They are a type of protein that speed up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy
B
They are a type of carbohydrates that speed up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are biological catalysts. Catalysts lower the activation energy for reactions. The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -An enzyme is a biological catalyst and is almost always a protein. It speeds up the rate of a specific chemical reaction in the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. Enzymes are proteins consisting of one or more polypeptide chains.

Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes are proteins that lower the activation energy of chemical reactions. Enzymes that are found in our body made of proteins and are called biological catalysts.

Detailed explanation-5: -Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a reaction. Each enzyme molecule has a special place called the active site where another molecule, called the substrate, fits.
