MCQ
A biological catalyst is essentially:
- AAn enzyme
- BA carbohydrate
- CAn amino acid
- DA nitrogenous base
✓
Answer
- An enzyme
Explanation:
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.
