Homework Statement


An enzyme called "RNA polymerase" catalyzes the formation of messenger RNAs. Therefore, we know that each RNA polymerase molecule:

Homework Equations


a.could be classified as a nucleic acid.
b.can participate in mRNA formation multiple times.
c.is found only in the cytoplasm of cells.
d.inhibits mRNA production
e.increases the kinetic energy of its substrates.


The Attempt at a Solution


I know it doesn't inhibit mRNA prodcution and its found in the nuclei not the cytoplasm i think the anwser is it can participate in mRNA formation mutiple times but I'm not sure

b is correct for sure. That's the way enzymes work, in a twisted way that's half a definition of a catalyst in general.
