Question

1. the function of an enzyme in a biochemical reaction is to - raise the temperature of the system speed up the rate of the reaction increase the amount of substrate added change the type of product formed clear all

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts. Catalysts lower the activation energy of a reaction, which speeds up the reaction rate. They do not raise the temperature of the system (that would be external heating), do not increase the amount of substrate (substrate amount is independent of enzyme function in this context), and do not change the type of product (they just speed up the conversion of substrate to its specific product).

Answer:

speed up the rate of the reaction
