Which statements describe the characteristics of an individual protein? Select two options. It is specific to one biochemical reaction. It increases the activation energy needed for a reaction. It can catalyze many different reactions. It increases the rate of a biochemical reaction. It slows down the rate of a biochemical reaction.

The branch of science which deals with chemistry uses in biology is called biochemistry.

The correct option to the question is A and D

The digestion of protein requires the enzyme which catalyzes the reactant and speeds up the reaction by decreasing the activation energy. According to this concept, option B is wrong.

The protein molecule has an active binding site that is specific to each protein. Each protein has a specific type of enzyme that catalyzes the reaction. Hence option C is also wrong.

Hence, the correct option is A and C that is an It is specific to one biochemical reaction and It slow down the rate of a biochemical reaction.

. It is specific to one biochemical reaction

It increases the rate of a biochemical reaction.

Explanation:

Protein acts as enzymes and are useful in reactions that occurs in the cell as a catalyst.

Enzymes are characterized by speeding up the rate of chemical reactions without destroying themselves or disturbing equilibrium that occurs between the reactant and the product. Individual protein are specific to a particular reaction and are good catalyst of chemical reaction as they help to speed up reactions.

the answer is c a tornado
