    Answer: Zymogen is a protein that is the inactive form of an enzyme

    Explanation:

    A Zymogen is an inactive precursor of an enzyme, particularly by those concerned with protein digestion.

    For example:

    - pepsinogen is the inactive form of the enzyme, pepsin

    - trypsinogen is to be inactive form of the enzyme, trypsin.

    Also, zymogens require activation energy to become functional. Generally, prefix pro - OR suffix - ogen is added to the enzyme name to denote its zymogen such as prothrombin, trypsinogen, fibrinogen.

    A protein that is the inactive form of an enzyme.

    Explanation:

    Zymogen is a protein that is inactive form of enzyme which can be converted into an enzyme when another enzyme activate it. It requires a biochemical change in the Golgi bodies for it to change to an enzyme.

    The pancreas normally secrete the zymogen.

    This is important to prevent enzymes from digesting protein in the cells they are produced.
