Question

Select all that apply. Which of the following are not properties of enzymes? a.)not required to sustain the life of an organism b.)sensitive to pH and temperature of their environment c.) able to interact with all compounds or substrates d.)large proteins with a special surface pattern

Answer 1

Answer: a.)not required to sustain the life of an organism

d.) large proteins with a special surface pattern.

Explanation:

Enzyme, a substance that acts as a catalyst in living organisms, regulating the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without itself being altered in the process.

Enzymes are specific substances which functions as a catalyst which is required to speed up the rate of the chemical reaction occurring in the body. Some enzymes are proteins but not all. The catalytic activities of the enzymes are required to conduct vital metabolic processes which are necessary for sustaining the life of the organism.

Answer 2

2-sensitive to pH and temperature of their environment

4-large proteins with a special surface pattern
