What is the primary difference between enzyme catalysts and chemical catalysts?
What is the primary difference between enzyme catalysts and chemical catalysts?
- Enzyme catalysts are regulated in their activity, while chemical catalysts are difficult to control
- Enzyme catalysts are produced by living cells and act inside living organisms, while chemical catalysts act outside living organisms
- Enzyme catalysts catalyze specific reactions, while chemical catalysts catalyze different reactions
- Enzyme catalysts are protein in nature, while chemical catalysts are non-protein in nature (correct)
