Amar Kumar 6 years, 11 months ago

Enzymes are soluble protein molecules that can speed up chemical reactions in cells. These reactions include respiration, photosynthesis and making new proteins. For this reason enzymes are sometimes called biological catalysts.

Enzymes speed up (catalyse) chemical reactions occurring inside and outside of living cells. This includes: DNA replication
Protein synthesis
Digestion

Enzymes react with substrates as part of the biological chemical processes that take place in human bodies, and their role in triggering these interactions is the basis of the descriptive term biological catalysts. Without the catalytic action of the enzymes, the products that human bodies require to produce energy do not form quickly enough.
