Which of the following statements is NOT accurate about how enzymes function? They catalyze one step in a metabolic pathway They bind to reactants and orient them in a favorable way to increase likelihood of reaction occurring They are involved in catabolic, but not anabolic reactions. They lower the activation energy

Which of the following statements regarding enzymes is true? Enzymes are the reactants in a chemical reaction All enzymes depend on protein cofactors to function Enzymes are inorganic Enzymes catalyze specific reactions by lowering the activation energy An enzyme's function is unaffected by changes in pH
Adi S.
Select all the correct statements. Enzymes... are very specific and only catalyze certain reactions. increase the rate at which a reaction occurs by reducing the activation energy of the reaction. increase the rate at which a reaction occurs by increasing the activation energy of the reaction. are always proteins. are not very specific and can catalyze many reactions. are usually, but not always, proteins.
