No, receptors do not catalyze reactions. Receptors on cell membranes or within cells bind to specific ligands, such as hormones or neurotransmitters, to initiate cellular responses but they do not themselves catalyze chemical reactions.

they reduce the activation energy required for the reaction to occur
Yes, enzymes can catalyze reactions in both directions.
Yes, enzymes can catalyze a variety of reactions by speeding up chemical reactions in living organisms.
Yes, enzymes can catalyze reactions bidirectionally, meaning they can facilitate both the forward and reverse reactions of a chemical process.
Most enzymes catalyze reactions in the forward direction, converting substrates into products.
Most enzymes catalyze reactions in a specific direction, typically from substrates to products.
Enzymes can catalyze reactions such as oxidation-reduction, hydrolysis, condensation, and isomerization. They can also facilitate reactions involving the transfer of functional groups or rearranging molecular structures.
Enzymes.
Enzymes
No, enzymes are specific in their function and can only catalyze specific reactions.
enzymes
Enzymes remain unchanged and available to catalyze multiple reactions. They are not used up in a reaction.
