MCQ

A biological catalyst is essentially:

✓
An enzyme
B
A carbohydrate
C
An amino acid
D
A 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.
