Question

Select all that apply. Which of the following are not properties of enzymes

Answer 1

Enzymes are proteins that are biological catalysts

They reduce the activation energy required for a reaction to occur and thus speed up a reaction

Temperature, above a certain point (optimum temperature) causes them to break down and they are gradually destroyed (denaturing)

They work best at a particular pH (optimum pH) and are once again destroyed by low or high pH's

They have a specific shape, with one particular part, known as the active site, that is specific to the substrate they speed the reaction of. These means they are specific to one type of reaction.

They aren't used in the reaction so they're re-usable.

If it isn't one of these then it is not one of the properties of enzymes
