### Quiz Question on Enzymes

**Question:**
Which of the following statements about Enzymes is TRUE?

1. ○ They show no specificity to substrates
2. ○ They are consumed by the reaction - only to be used a single time
3. ○ They may be active extracellularly
4. ○ They are composed only of protein and nothing else

**Correct Answer:**
- They may be active extracellularly

**Explanation:**
This question tests understanding of enzyme properties. Enzymes are biological catalysts and are highly specific to their substrates. They are not consumed by the reaction and can be used multiple times. Some enzymes can function outside cells (extracellularly). Furthermore, enzymes are composed of proteins but may also have a non-protein component called a cofactor.
