Question

part c an enzyme ______. options: is an organic catalyst, is a inorganic catalyst, increases the ea of a reaction, is a source of energy for endergonic reactions, can bind to nearly any molecule (with submit and request answer buttons, and a selected radio button for is an organic catalyst)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Enzymes are biological catalysts, and they are organic (protein or RNA - based) catalysts. Inorganic catalysts are non - biological and not enzymes. Enzymes lower the activation energy (\(E_A\)) of a reaction, not increase it. They are not a source of energy for reactions (reactions get energy from substrates or other energy sources), and enzymes have specific active sites that bind to specific substrates, not nearly any molecule. So the correct statement is that an enzyme is an organic catalyst.

Answer:

is an organic catalyst
