A key distinguishing characteristic of enzymes compared to non-biological catalysts is their

A. Ability to alter the equilibrium constant of a reaction
B. Capacity to catalyze a wide range of structurally unrelated reactions
C. Remarkable substrate specificity and susceptibility to regulation
✓
D. Requirement for extremely high temperatures and pressures to function

📝 Explanation

Unlike inorganic catalysts, enzymes are highly specific and their activity is finely regulated by cellular mechanisms like allosteric control.
