Understanding Enzyme Function

Easy Biochemistry Enzymes

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Each enzyme is specific to a particular substrate and functions optimally under certain conditions. Which of the following statements correctly describes the nature of enzymes?

Enzymes increase the activation energy of reactions.

Enzymes are consumed in the reactions they catalyze.

Enzymes can function under a broad range of conditions without specificity.

Enzymes lower the activation energy of reactions.
