Question

which statements describe the characteristics of an individual protein? select two options. it is specific to one biochemical reaction. it increases the activation energy needed for a reaction. it can catalyze many different reactions. it increases the rate of a biochemical reaction. it slows down the rate of a biochemical reaction.

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. They are specific to certain biochemical reactions and increase the rate of a biochemical reaction by lowering the activation energy, not increasing it. Each enzyme typically catalyzes one or a few related reactions, not many different ones randomly, and they do not slow - down reactions.

Answer:

It is specific to one biochemical reaction.
It increases the rate of a biochemical reaction.
