Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is an Enzyme?
A
energy needed to get a reaction started
B
arge compound formed from combinations of many monomers
C
proteins that act as biological catalyst
D
an organic compound
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These molecules are called coenzymes because they work together with enzymes to enhance reaction rates. In contrast to substrates, coenzymes are not irreversibly altered by the reactions in which they are involved.

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: -Summary. An enzyme is a biological catalyst, a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being changed or consumed in the reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -These enzymes, called transferases, move functional groups from one molecule to another. For example, alanine aminotransferase shuffles the alpha‐amino group between alanine and aspartate: Other transferases move phosphate groups between ATP and other compounds, sugar residues to form disaccharides, and so on.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are mainly two types of enzyme catalysts – activation enzymes and inhibitory enzymes.
