People who have Alzheimer's disease experience an increasing loss of brain function and cognition over time. Alzheimer's is characterized by a buildup of abnormal protein fragments that damage brain cells.

Which statement explains how BACE2 most likely works?BACE2 is a reactant that combines with the abnormal protein fragments.BACE2 speeds up the reaction that breaks down the abnormal protein fragments.BACE2 molecules link several abnormal protein fragments together, forming a complete protein.BACE2 breaks down into smaller pieces that react with the abnormal protein fragments forming more complex molecules.
