A single enzyme can normally catalyze a wide variety of reactions under many conditions.
Enzymes are found only in nonliving systems.
Enzymes allow living things to regulate body conditions through feedback mechanisms.

Explanation:

This is correct for eng

Answer 2

Answer:

Enzymes bind to specific substrates in specific ways

Enzymes increase the rate of reaction.

Explanation:

Enzymes are biochemical catalysts to speed up various reactions in the body. Enzymes are proteins and catalyze specific reactions by lowering the activation energy. Any enzyme binds to its substrate in a specific way much like our lock and key in normal life. Enzymes can be denatured at unfavourable temperature or pH. Hence enzymes work best within an optimum range of temperature or pH.
