Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Without the presence of enzymes, the reactions necessary to sustain life would require ____ in order to occur.
A
higer temperatures
B
larger cells
C
larger proteins
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are proteins They act as catalysts, which means that they make biochemical reactions happen faster than they would otherwise. Without enzymes, those reactions simply would not occur or would run too slowly to sustain life.

Detailed explanation-2: -All biological reactions within human cells depend on enzymes. Their power as catalysts enables biological reactions to occur usually in milliseconds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Without them, your body can’t break foods down so that nutrients can be fully absorbed. A lack of digestive enzymes can lead to a variety of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. It can also leave you malnourished, even if you eat a nutritious diet.

Detailed explanation-4: -b) During the enzyme catalysis the activation energy is lowered and the need for the higher temperature can be eliminated by lowering the activation energy of the reaction.
