- Super Program
- Protein
- Phagofartsitos
- Ribozome
Correct Answer

A. Protein

Explanation

An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst in biological reactions by speeding up the rate of the reaction without being consumed or altered in the process. Enzymes play a crucial role in various physiological processes in living organisms, including metabolism, digestion, and DNA replication. They are typically made up of long chains of amino acids that fold into specific three-dimensional structures, allowing them to bind to specific substrates and facilitate chemical reactions.

3.

Are anabolism and catabolism opposites ?
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Anabolism and catabolism are indeed opposites. Anabolism refers to the metabolic process in which complex molecules are built up from simpler ones, requiring energy. On the other hand, catabolism is the metabolic process in which complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones, releasing energy. These two processes are complementary and occur simultaneously in cells to maintain the balance of energy and nutrients.
