Answer 2

It's job is to mainly break down complex substance into more simpler forms of molecules

Substrate------>Product

Answer 3

enzymes speed up chemical reactions :)

Answer 4

Enzymes are biological catalysts, i.e. they reduce the activation energy of a biochemical reaction, such that this reaction occurs with much faster kinetics, e.g. the enzyme catalase, found in the liver, results in several thousand-fold increase production of oxygen from peroxide. Enzymes are more typically composed of amino acids i.e. proteins, but some are composed of RNA (ribozymes).

Answer 5

dang! I totally forgot all about the activation energy >xD

Answer 6

enzymes.....they serve as biological catalysts,meaning they accelerate the rate of body reaction without themselves participating in the reaction..
