Which of the following are characteristics of enzymes? Check All That Apply Enzymes extract energy from the substrate and transfer it to the products. Enzymes are not altered during a chemical reaction. Enzymes are specific to a chemical reaction. Enzyme function is dependent on the shape of the active site. Enzymes are part of the final product of a chemical reaction.

Which of the following are true of enzymes? (mark all correct answers) An enzyme's function depends on its three-dimensional shape. Enzymes are very specific for certain substrates. Enzymes are used up when they catalyze a chemical reaction. Enzymes provide activation energy to the reactions they catalyze.
