Which type of proteins activate some chemicals reactions in the body?
enzymes :)
What are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in organisms called?
We call these enzymes but there are ones in chemical reactions which do the same but are called catalysts.
What is meant by the statement enzymes are biological catalysts?
Enzymes are biological catalysts because they speed up chemical reactions that occur in living organisms by lowering the activation energy needed for the reactions to proceed. They remain unchanged at the end of the reaction and can be used repeatedly.
Are enzymes permanently changed in the chemical reactions they aer involved in?
No. Enzymes are not permanently changed in the chemical reactions in which they are involved. After the reaction, they regain their original shape and are free to catalyze another of the same reaction.
Are enzymes unchanged during chemical reactions and reusable?
Enzymes are unchanged during chemical reactions as they act as catalysts and do not participate in the reaction itself. Enzymes are reusable as they can catalyze multiple reactions without being consumed in the process.
