Answer:

3) The correct answer would be the third option.

Enzymes are biocatalysts which increases the rate of a biochemical reaction is decreasing the activation energy required by the reaction.

The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme to form an enzyme-substrate complex. It is then converted to enzyme-product complex. Lastly, the product is released and the enzyme is ready for a new cycle of reaction.

4) The correct answer would be cohesion.

Cohesion or cohesive force refers to the attractive force by which like-molecules are stick together.

For example, water molecules are stick together to form droplets.
