Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of enzymes?
Step 1: Understand what enzymes are. Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in the body.
Step 2: Know that enzymes are not used up in the reactions they help with. This means they can be used over and over again.
Step 3: Identify characteristics of enzymes. Some characteristics include: they lower activation energy, they are specific to substrates, and they are reusable.
Step 4: Determine which option does not fit the characteristics of enzymes. The correct answer will be something that suggests enzymes are consumed or not reusable.
