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: -Like other catalysts, enzymes are not reactants in the reactions they control. They help the reactants interact but are not used up in the reactions. Instead, they may be used over and over again. Unlike other catalysts, enzymes are usually highly specific for particular chemical reactions.

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: -Definition. 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. The enzyme is not destroyed during the reaction and is used over and over.

Detailed explanation-5: -Enzymes are substrate specific, which means that only ONE substrate will fit with ONE enzyme. Enzymes can be used more than once.
