Enzymes are not destroyed during chemical reactions; instead, they act as catalysts, facilitating reactions without being consumed. After the reaction, enzymes can be reused multiple times to catalyze subsequent reactions. They may undergo temporary changes in shape or active site configuration but typically return to their original state. However, extreme conditions such as high temperatures or extreme pH can denature enzymes, rendering them inactive.

Enzyme is specific
An enzyme
No. An enzyme is a molecule, specifically a protein, that catalyzes a chemical reaction.
An enzyme in a biochemical reaction fits this definition.
to speed up a chemical reaction
The enzyme is a biochemical catalyst.
ENzyme
the purpose is to accelerate the process of the reaction...
enzyme sped up the chemical reaction
The enzyme reduces the activation energy of the reaction, therefore chemical reaction speeds are increased.
Yes. Enzymes are pretty much known as catalysts, and the definition of a catalyst is "a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction, without being consumed or produced by the reaction." So thus we see the enzyme being active in a reaction but not destroyed. There are exceptions to this, though. If an enzyme is kept in hot, unfavorable temperatures, it will change shape or become "denatured" and may become useless in a very short time.
No. Atoms, which are matter, are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, but they are rearranged.
