MCQ
A biological catalyst is essentially:
- ✓An enzyme
- BA carbohydrate
- CAn amino acid
- DA nitrogenous base
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
An enzyme
Explanation of the correct option:
Enzymes are naturally occurring simple or conjugate proteins acting as specific catalysts in cell processes.
The enzyme facilitates a biochemical reaction by providing alternative lower activation energy pathways thereby increasing the rate of reaction.
Hence they are called biological catalysts.
