Which of the following does describe enzymes?

Some enzymes are protein plus a cofactor. Each enzyme is chemically specific. Some enzymes are purely protein.

Mixtures differ from compounds in several important ways.

The chief difference between mixtures and compounds is that no chemical bonding occurs between the components of a mixture. The properties of atoms and molecules are not changed when they become part of a mixture. (2) Depending on the mixture, its components can be separated by physical means, straining, filtering, evaporation, and so on. Compounds, by contrast, can be separated into their constituent atoms only by chemical means (breaking bonds). (3) Some mixtures are homogenous, while others are heterogeneous. All compounds are homogeneous.

The electrons are shared unequally.

Which of the following is TRUE regarding the pH of a solution?

The more hydrogen ions in a solution, the more acidic the solution is.
