What is true of enzymes? they only speed up reactions. they speed up or slow down any reaction in a living thing. they act as catalysts, each for one specific reaction. they only slow down reactions

There are 2 correct options for this problem.

1) They only speed up the chemical reactions. : True

Enzymes are biological catalysts. A catalyst lowers the activation energy of the reaction. When a reaction needs less energy to start, it occurs at a faster rate.

Many biological reactions that occur in our body are occurring at body temperature. The reactions would become very slow at this temperature . Therefore enzymes act a catalyst to speed up these reactions.

2) They act as catalysts, each for one specific reaction. : True

This option is true because as discussed above, enzymes are catalyst and their job is to speed up a chemical reaction. Enzymes have active sites where a particular substrate can bind during the reaction. Therefore a given enzyme acts a catalyst for a specific reaction only.

the answer is either b or c

the answer to your question is c.
