What are enzymes?
What are enzymes?
- Proteins that increase the rate of reaction by lowering the energy of activation (correct)
- Lipids that decrease the rate of reaction by increasing the energy of activation
- Carbohydrates that have no effect on the rate of reaction
- Nucleic acids that stop the chemical reactions in the cells
What is the role of enzymes in biochemical reactions?
What is the role of enzymes in biochemical reactions?
- They only catalyze a few specific chemical reactions in the cells
- They catalyze nearly all the chemical reactions taking place in the cells of the body (correct)
- They inhibit all the chemical reactions taking place in the cells of the body
- They have no effect on the chemical reactions in the cells

What happens to enzymes during a reaction?
- They are converted into carbohydrates during the reaction
- They are not altered or consumed during the reaction (correct)
- They are completely used up in the reaction
- They become inhibitors after the reaction
