Which statement about enzymes is true? a. they are large molecules that decrease the rate of reactions in the body. b. they are large molecules that increase the rate of biologicallyimportant reactions. c. they slow the rate of chemical reactions. d. they are permanently changed in the course of a reaction.

Answer;

B. They are large molecules that increase the rate of biologically important reactions.

Explanation;

-Enzymes are biological molecules, that are protein in nature, that significantly speed up the rate of virtually all of the chemical reactions that take place within cells.

-They are vital for life and serve a wide range of important functions in the body, such as aiding in digestion and metabolism. Some enzymes help break large molecules into smaller pieces that are more easily absorbed by the body. Other enzymes help bind two molecules together to produce a new molecule.

what are the choices?

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
