Ap biology biochemistry activity #8 answers what are the key properties of enzymes and what

Characteristics of Enzymes : * Enzymes Made out of proteins and RNA. * Shape related to the function, names usually end in ase, catalyst. functions of enzymes is speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. Enzymes are biological catalysts. Catalysts lower the activation energy for reactions. The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.
