Question

In living cells, chemical processes, such as synthesis, all require the action of 1. specialized antibiotics 2. hormones 3. salts 4. biological catalysts

Answer 1

The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be option 4. In living cells, chemical processes, such as synthesis, all require the action of BIOLOGICAL CATALYSTS. Biological catalysts are enzymes that help in speeding up the chemical processes in the body. Hope this answer helps.

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

BIOLOGICAL CATALYSTS.

In living cells chemical processes such as synthesis all require the action of biological catalysts. Biological catalysts are enzymes that speed up the chemical processes in the body.

Explanation:

Enzymes are water-soluble protein molecules that can promote up chemical reactions in cells. These reactions constitute respiration, photosynthesis and manufacturing new proteins. For this purpose, enzymes are seldom called biological catalysts. In fact, the human body would not survive outwardly enzymes because the chemical reactions needed to sustain the body simply would not occur fast enough.
