enzyme is_____________?
Correct answer: A. bio catalyst
- A. bio catalyst
- B. hormone
- C. Gland
- D. None of these
Explanation
An enzyme is a biological catalyst, meaning it speeds up a biochemical reaction by lowering its activation energy without being permanently consumed. Students may choose hormone because both regulate body processes, but hormones act as chemical messengers and do not necessarily catalyse reactions.

About Characteristics of Enzymes
Enzymes are globular biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, usually showing specificity for particular substrates. Questions cover active sites, enzyme substrate complexes, the lock and key and induced fit models, intracellular and extracellular action, and the effects of denaturation, while distinguishing enzymes from non biological catalysts.
