there are no distinctions between chemicals and non-chemicals in the sense that all matter in universe are made up of atoms from the Periodic Table, but to answer your question in a less technical way an enzyme is better classified as a protein.

please note also that chemicals as environmentalists and organic food promoters define it does not exist and everything is made of chemicals

so phrases like "that apple has chemicals in it" is inane because the apple is made of chemicals. this doesn't make any sense.

How does an inhibitor affect the rate of chemical reaction?

An inhibitor reduces the rate of a chemical reaction by slowing down or preventing the reaction from occurring. It does this by interfering with the active sites of enzymes or by changing the overall reaction pathway, ultimately making it more difficult for the reaction to proceed at its normal rate.


A chemical reaction in a living cell occurs in the presence of a specific protein molecule The concentration of this protein molecule remains the same before and after the reaction This protein mole?

This protein molecule is likely an enzyme, which facilitates the chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Enzymes remain unchanged after the reaction and can be reused to catalyze multiple reactions. They are specific to the reaction they catalyze and are essential for the proper functioning of the cell.


Describe how the interaction between an enzyme and its substrates change a chemical reaction?

An enzyme binds to its substrate, forming an enzyme-substrate complex. This interaction lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. It brings the substrates into close proximity and orients them in a way that facilitates the reaction, leading to the formation of products.


What catalyzes chemical reaction?

They are the enzymes mainly. They are tertiary proteins


Which is accurately describes an enzyme?

An enzyme is a biological catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions in living organisms by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Enzymes are highly specific, meaning they only catalyze one particular reaction or a group of closely related reactions. They are not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly.
