Which of the following would occur if cells did not have enzymes?

a, cells would not have any chemical reactions taking place.
b. cells would have some chemical reactions, but not enough to support life processes.
c. reactions in cells would be too slow to sustain life.
d. reactions in cells would be prevented from producing needed products at the right time.

which of the following would differ if you compared the same reaction taking place with and without an enzyme?

a. the chemical energy of the reactants
b. the chemical energy of the products
c. the energy required to start the reaction
d. the overall energy of the reaction

The correct answers are - 1. option C. and 2. option C.

Explanation:

Enzymes are the bio-molecule that catalyze the biochemical process by lowering its activation energy. It plays a critical function in lower the activation energy of the reaction inside the cell. Almost all the reaction occurs inside the cell are too slow at normal temperature.

The enzymes help in speeding up the cellular biochemicals reaction. Enzyme does this by binding to substrate molecule so it would be easy to bond breaking and forming.

Thus, the correct answers are -  1. option C. and 2. option C.

1. what is the relationship between the shape of an enzyme and the reactions they catalyze?

2. how does an enzyme inhibitor work?

separate your answers so i dont get confused : )
