What are Enzymes?What are Enzymes?
Enzymes are proteins.
An enzyme is a catalyst. They speed up reactions that take place in your body.
Enzymes are proteins.
An enzyme is a catalyst. They speed up reactions that take place in your body.
What are Enzymes?What are Enzymes? Enzymes are very
specific. Will only catalyze
one specific reaction. Usually named for
the reaction they catalyze.
They are reusable and not permanently changed.

How Do Enzymes Work?How Do Enzymes Work?
Catalysts work by lowering the activation energy (the energy needed to start a chemical reaction) of the reaction=huge effect on the time it takes a reaction to happen!

How does it work?1.Substrates come in close
physical contact at the active site.
2.Substrates bind together and are made into products.
3.The products are released and the cycle starts over.
