Questions and Answers

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?

  • 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
