tionsAssessmentsResources Awards 3B (Enzymes) tney Carnes: Attempt 1 What are enzymes? Proteins that serve as biological catalysts for reactions in all living organisms Carbohydrates that serve as biological catalysts for reactions in all living organisms Lipids that serve as biological catalysts for reactions in all iving organisms Nucleic acids that serve as biological catalysts for reactions in all living organisms Save Question 2 (0.5 points) Which of the following statements is true? Enzymes greatly enhance reaction rates. Enzymes are very specific. Enzymes are not permanently changed during the reaction

Explanation / Answer

Question 1:

Correct answer is Option A

Enzymes are the protein that serves as biological catalyst for reaction in all living organisms

Reason: Enzymes is basically a subset of proteins, so we can say that all enzymes are basically protiens and not vice-versa (i.e. all proteins are not definetly enzymes)

Question 2:

Correct answer is Option D

Reason: Enzymes alter the rate of the reaction by reducing the activation energy making an easy path from reactants to products

Enzymes are very specific with respect to substrate and reactants

Enzymes as mentioned below will act as a catalyst and will not alter the rate of the reaction
