Given below are two statements regarding enzymes: Statement I: Almost all enzymes are globular proteins. Statement II: Enzymes increase the magnitude of activation energy to speed up biochemical reactions. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Step-by-step solution

Statement I is correct because chemically, almost all enzymes are globular proteins. Statement II is incorrect because enzymes act as biocatalysts by providing an alternate pathway with a lower activation energy. They reduce, rather than increase, the magnitude of activation energy required for a biochemical reaction to proceed. Answer: Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
