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)

How does enzyme catalysts catalysis occur compared to chemical catalysts?

Enzyme catalysts are involved in the IUB system of nomenclature, while chemical catalysts are not

Enzyme catalysts are difficult to control, while chemical catalysts have closely regulated activity

Catalysis occurs via the active site of enzymes, while chemical catalysts catalyze as a whole (correct)

Enzyme catalysts catalyze different reactions, while chemical catalysts catalyze specific reactions

According to enzyme nomenclature, what is the IUB classification of enzymes based on?
