List the characteristics of the enzymes discussed in Chapter 9 of the NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Biology.
The properties of enzymes covered in Chapter 9 of NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Biology are:
- The enzymes are complex macromolecules with a higher molecular weight.
- The enzymes help break down larger molecules into simpler molecules by catalyzing the biochemical reactions occurring within the cell.
- Enzymes can only speed up a reaction.
- Enzymes have an impact on the biochemical reaction's rate, but they have no impact on the reaction's direction.
- Enzymes are action specific.
- At a pH level between 6 and 8, enzyme activity peaks.
