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 speed up reactions, often by a factor of a million or more, without themselves being changed-that is, they act as catalysts that permit cells to make or break covalent bonds in a controlled way.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins have numerous functions within living things, including the following: They help form many of the structural features of the body including hair, nails and muscles. Proteins are a major structural component of cells and cell membranes. They aid in transporting materials across cellular membranes.

Detailed explanation-4: -A type of macronutrient. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids. They do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs.
