Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which best describe an enzyme?
A
it is globular protein
B
act as biological catalyst
C
its monomer is amino acid
D
speed up a chemical reaction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes and activation energy A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction-without being a reactant-is called a catalyst.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzyme: An enzyme is a biological catalyst. It speeds up a reaction by lowering or reducing the activation energy of the reaction. It can increase the rates of both forward and backward reactions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes speed up (catalyse) chemical reactions by lowering the amount energy required to start the reaction. The energy required to start the reaction is called activation energy. Enzymes lower activation energy by either putting strain on the chemical bonds of a substrate molecule …
