Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of biological catalysts, also known as enzymes, in chemical reactions?

  • They change the equilibrium position of the reaction.
  • They increase the energy requirement of the reaction.
  • They are consumed in the reaction and thus need to be replenished.
  • They lower the activation energy necessary for the reaction. (correct)
  • Which of the following statements about osmosis is correct?

  • Osmosis is independent of temperature variations.
  • Osmosis occurs only in solid states of matter.
  • Osmosis requires energy input to occur.
  • Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of low solute concentration to high solute concentration. (correct)
  • Which group of compounds is primarily involved in the structural composition of organisms and includes carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins?
