Organic molecules that increase the rate of metabolic reactions without themselves being changed are known as

  • A.coenzymes
  • B.enzymes
  • C.substrates
  • D.reactants

Answer: B

Correct answer: enzymes

Enzymes are catalysts: they speed a reaction by lowering its activation energy and emerge from it unchanged, ready to act again. That is why a small quantity turns over a great deal of substrate. Coenzymes assist enzymes but are altered in the reaction and must be regenerated; substrates and reactants are consumed.
