If I said that a particular metabolic reaction was catalytic, which of the following would be true about that reaction? a substrate was being broken apart something was being built from different substrates being bonded together an enzyme could very well be involved molecule speed would decrease The reaction rate would flatline

Step 1
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. Now let's analyze the given options: A substrate was being broken apart: This option suggests that the reaction involves the breakdown of a substrate. Show more…

Which of the following statements about enzyme-catalyzed reactions is true? Enzymes always drive reactions toward chemical equilibrium. The free-energy change of the reaction is greater than when the same reaction occurs in the absence of an enzyme. The rate of the reaction is greater than when the same reaction occurs in the absence of an enzyme. Energy from ATP is required to activate the enzyme before it can catalyze the reaction.

A reaction that requires an enzyme is being conducted in the laboratory. Which of following statements is correct? a. The reaction can continue even if the enzyme is denatured b. Enzymes accelerate specific reactions by altering the reaction itself c. Reaction rates are not influenced by substrate concentration d. Reaction rates can be influenced by pH or temperature
