Which of the following statements regarding enzymes is false? Enzymes are consumed in the reactions they catalyze and therefore must be constantly made; The activity of enzymes can be affected by factors in their immediate environment Enzymes known as kinases catalyze the addition of phosphate to other molecules. Enzymes are proteins that function as catalysts. Enzymes display specificity for certain molecules to which they attach.
