Enzymes Directly Act To

Question

Enzymes directly act to
A)maintain cell structure.
B)slow down chemical reactions.
C)speed up chemical reactions.
D)supply energy.

Accepted Answer

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They do not maintain cell structure or supply energy, and while they may indirectly slow down certain reactions by using up substrates, their primary function is to increase the speed of reactions.
