Question

Because enzymes have high specificity, fewer than fifteen are required by any organism.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

False!

It is true that enzymes have high specificity, but that is the reason to have more of them. There is a great number of biochemical reactions and different enzymes are required for all of these different reactions.

Answer 2

Answer;

The above statement is false

Step-by-step explanation;

-Enzyme are substances that acts as a catalyst in living organisms, regulating the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without itself being altered in the process. Enzymes are protein in nature, they are specific, that is they act on specific substrate.

-Because enzymes have high specificity, different enzymes are required to catalyze different reactions. Because the number of biochemical reactions is so high, the number of different enzymes is high too.
