Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction in the cell but can only be used once. True or False?
A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are not reactants and are not used up during the reaction. Once an enzyme binds to a substrate and catalyzes the reaction, the enzyme is released, unchanged, and can be used for another reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -True or false, An enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction in the cell, but can only be used once. False.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes are substrate specific, which means that only ONE substrate will fit with ONE enzyme. Enzymes can be used more than once.

Detailed explanation-5: -Enzymes speed the reaction, or allow it to occur at lower energy levels and, once the reaction is complete, they are again available. In other words, they are not used up by the reaction and can be re-used. Enzymes are designed to work most effectively at a specific temperature and pH.
