Understanding the Role of Enzymes

Very Easy Biochemistry Enzymes

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in the body. They are essential for numerous metabolic processes and function by lowering the activation energy of reactions. Enzymes can be affected by various factors including temperature and pH, which may alter their activity. Consider the statement below regarding enzymes:
