As a result of its involvement in a reaction, an enzyme is unchanged.

Enzymes are catalysts that speed up chemical reactions that occur within the biological systems (they increase the reaction rate by lowering its activation energy). Enzymes react with substrate that binds to them (key-lock mechanism) and convert the substrate into the product. Most of enzymes are proteins by their structure but a few are catalytic RNA molecules-ribosymes.

Enzyme activity can be affected by other molecules (activators and repressors), pH, temperature etc.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The mushroom in the picture and the option choices are included in the attached image. below...

The highlighted region of the mushroom in the picture represents the mushroom's "Gills", and paticularlly the multicellular structure carrying the Hymenium called "the basidiocarp" aka basidioma; the Hymenium or underside of the mushrooms is comprised of vertical plates arranged radially, and if a cross section of this is exposed by making a straight cut through the basidiocarp on a microscope, it would appear as option: (A. )
