Which of the following is an advantage of enzymes over chemical catalysts? Correct Answer High productivity, less material cost

Enzymes catalyze a very narrow range of substrate. These enzymes are not selective for a particular reaction, but also has the capacity to differentiate between parts of the same molecule. This leads to the exclusion of any side reactions and removal of byproducts. Thus, providing high productivity and less material cost.
