If enzymes stop their functions, then biochemical reactions would:
Correct answer: B. Be slowed down
- A. Stop
- B. Be slowed down
- C. Not affected
- D. Carried out at faster rate
Explanation
The biological processes that occur within all living organisms are chemical reactions, and enzymes regulate most of the reactions. In the presence of enzymes, these chemical reactions are carried out at a faster rate, while in their absence, they will slow down.

About Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
