Answer:

PROPERTIES OF ENZYMES

(i) Protein nature: Enzymes are generally proteins. They may have additional inorganic or

organic substances for their activity.

(ii) Chemical reaction: Enzymes do not start a chemical reaction but increase the rate of reaction.

They do not change the equilibrium but bring about equilibrium very soon.

(iii) Efficiency: The number of substrate molecules changed per minute by a molecule or enzyme is

called turn over number. The higher the turn-over number, the more efficient an enzyme is.

(iv) Unchanged form: enzymes are in no way transformed or used up in the chemical reaction but

come out unchanged at the end of reaction.

(v) Enzyme specificity: Enzymes are highly specific in their action. For example, enzyme maltase

acts on sugar maltose but not lactose or sucrose.
