Which are true about enzymes? (choose more than one) a. weak bonds can only form with enzymes b. they perform the same functions, regardless of environment c. they always make covalent bonds d. they make reactions more likely to happen
Added by Michael B.
Step 1
Enzymes can form weak bonds (such as hydrogen bonds) with their substrates, but they can also form other types of bonds. So, this statement is not entirely true. b. Enzymes are sensitive to their environment, and factors such as temperature and pH can affect Show more…
