Question

Describe three characteristics of enzymes

Answer 1

enzymes are powerful catalysts
they can also speed up reaction times but remain the same while doing so
tempurures and ph can affect them

Answer 2

1.They act as a catalyst

2.Enzymes are proteins

3.They are affected by Ph

4.They are affected by temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Enzymes act as a catalyst because they either speed up or slow down the rate of a reaction

2.They are proteins because they are made up of 20 amino acids

3.Enzymes are affected by temperature, if the temperature increases, the reaction rate increases. However if the temperature continues to increase, the shape of the active site changes.If the temperature is below preffered temperature range,the rate of the reaction becomes slower,but the shape is not denatured.
