1 of 2

Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions or allow the reaction to occur at a lower energy level. They are commonly known as catalysts and are characterized by having an active site highly specific to only one substrate. Enzymes do not deplete when the reaction is complete and can be used once available again. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
