Detailed explanation-1: -Enzyme activity is not regulated and thus it is not characteristic of an enzyme. The main characteristics of enzymes is that they are pH-sensitive. Enzymes are actually a special type of protein. They function to catalyze chemical reactions within living organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Enzyme activity is not regulated. hence it is not characteristic of an enzyme.
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, enzymes are specific to particular substrates, and will not work on others with different configurations. Some examples of enzymes and their specific substrates. There are several factors that can increase the rate of a reaction.
Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes are specific because different enzymes have differently shaped active sites. The shape of the active site of an enzyme is complementary to the shape of its specific substrate . This means they are the correct shapes to fit together.
