Solution
Answer:
B.most cellular reactions require a specific, unique enzyme.
Explanation:
The presence of an enzyme allows a reaction to occur, but does not switch outcomes of undergoing reactions. Enzymes do speed up a chemical reactions, the active site on the enzyme may undergo a slight change in shape when the substrate binds, enzymes are very specific in their action, and enzymes lower the energy of activation for a reaction to occur.
