Question

multiple choice question
what is the name for catalytic proteins that speed up chemical reactions in cells?

accelerators
enzymes
adjuvants
prions

Explanation:

Enzymes are defined as catalytic proteins that lower the activation energy of chemical reactions, thereby speeding up metabolic processes within cells. Accelerators is a general, non-specific term; adjuvants enhance immune responses; prions are misfolded proteins that cause disease, not catalytic proteins for cellular reactions.

Answer:

B. Enzymes
