Very Easy Biochemistry Enzymes

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in the body. They work by lowering the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur. Understanding the role of enzymes is fundamental in biochemistry, particularly in how they interact with substrates to form products. Which of the following statements about enzymes is true?

Enzymes are consumed during the chemical reaction they catalyze.

Enzymes increase the activation energy required for a reaction.

Enzymes are specific to a particular substrate.

Enzymes operate at any temperature without regard to optimal conditions.
