Enzymes are inorganic catalysts which accelerate the rate of biological reactions and do not consume at the end of reaction.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Enzymes**: Enzymes are biological molecules that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions. They are primarily proteins, although some may contain non-protein components. 2. **Correcting the Statement**: The initial statement claims that enzymes are inorganic catalysts. This is incorrect. Enzymes are organic catalysts, specifically proteins or protein complexes. 3. **Function of Enzymes**: Enzymes accelerate the rate of biological reactions. They lower the activation energy required for reactions to occur, thus speeding up the process. ...
