Enzymes are destroyed after a reaction T or F

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

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 it does not become destroyed. There are exceptions to this though. If an enzyme is kept in hot, unfavorable temperatures i will change shape or become 'denatured' and may become useless in a very short time.
