Without enzymes our metabolism will be very slow.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
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. For example, without enzymes, digestion would be impossible.

Detailed explanation-2: -The energy required to reach the transition state (the activation energy) constitutes a barrier to the progress of the reaction, limiting the rate of the reaction. Enzymes (and other catalysts) act by reducing the activation energy, thereby increasing the rate of reaction.
