Why are enzymes required for living things to function?
a. reactions take place too slowly at body temperature and must be speeded up. b. reactions take place too quickly at body temperature and must be slowed down. c. reactions in the body require enzymes to act as reactants.
d. reactions in the body produce enzymes as byproducts.

Option (a) is the correct answer.

Example:

Enzymes are the substances which are produced by living organisms to carry out various biochemical reactions.

Inside living organisms a lot of chemical reactions occur. With the help of enzymes the speed of these chemical reactions can be controlled.

If there will be no enzymes in the body then the reactions will take place very slowly to keep the organism alive or it will cause a disease in the organism's body. Enzymes also help in the communication of cells, growth of cells etc.

Thus, we can conclude that enzymes are required for living things to function reactions that take place too slowly at body temperature and must be speed up.

convalent bond :

is a chemical bond formed by the sharing of electron between 2 atoms.

it is the direct chemical bond between 2 atoms.

in bond formation atoms are involved here.

electrovalent bond:

is a chemical bond defined as electroststic attraction between 2 atoms.

it is the electrostatic attraction between 2 atoms.

in bond formation, ions are involved here.

hope it

and ur welcm
