Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The organic compounds that have many structural purposes and are used to speed up reactions within thecell are called ____
A
Carbohydrates
B
Lipids
C
Proteins
D
Nucleic Acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are proteins that act upon substrate molecules and decrease the activation energy necessary for a chemical reaction to occur by stabilizing the transition state. This stabilization speeds up reaction rates and makes them happen at physiologically significant rates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed biochemical reactions by facilitating the molecular rearrangements that support cell function.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins are involved in many cellular functions. Proteins can act as enzymes which enhance the rate of chemical reactions. In fact, 99% of enzymatic reactions within a cell are mediated by proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins are organic compounds that consist of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and, in some cases, sulfur. They are made up of repeating units called amino acids. They provide cells with energy, form tissues, speed up chemical reactions throughout the body, and perform many other cellular functions.
