Enyzmes are a very important type of protein used to
A
Build bones in skeleton
B
Send hormonal signals throughout body
C
Speed up chemical reactions
D
Photosynthesize glucose in plants
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 proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems.

Detailed explanation-3: -An enzyme is a biological catalyst and is almost always a protein. It speeds up the rate of a specific chemical reaction in the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes are mainly globular proteins-protein molecules where the tertiary structure has given the molecule a generally rounded, ball shape (although perhaps a very squashed ball in some cases).
