Jacob argued that enzymes are not reusable and function to slow down the rate of reactions. Which statements show why Jacob's argument is incorrect? Select all that apply.

A
Enzymes are catalysts that speed up chemical reactions.

B
Enzymes increase the activation energy that is required for chemical reactions.

C
Enzymes are changed by the reaction and can be reused.

D
Enzymes are specific to the substrate to which they bind and can be reused.

E
All enzymes act on different reactions and by increasing the rate of the reaction.

A

Explanation:

In living organisms, enzymes speed up the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy thereby bringing the reactants close to each other and weakened their chemical bonds which will enable the reactions to be faster.

the principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to test the hypothesis, and development of a conclusion that confirms, rejects, or modifies the hypothesis.
