Question

Enzymes are different from catalysts in ______.

Options

• being proteinaceous

• being used up in a reaction

• functioning at a high temperature

• having a high rate of diffusion

Answer 1

Enzymes are different from catalysts in being proteinaceous.

Explanation:

Enzymes and catalysts boost up the reaction without being consumed in the process. They also have a fast diffusion rate. They continue to function at certain optimal temperatures. Enzymes denature at higher temperatures because they are proteinaceous, whereas catalysts are inorganic molecules such as metals or ions.
