BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are mostly proteins that catalyze various biochemical reactions. They are also known as ‘biological catalysts’. The catalytic reaction occurs through a specific region of the enzyme called the ‘active site’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biological catalysts are called enzymes.

Detailed explanation-3: -An enzyme is a biological catalyst and is almost always a protein. It speeds up the rate of a specific chemical reaction in the cell. The enzyme is not destroyed during the reaction and is used over and over.

Detailed explanation-4: -A fundamental task of proteins is to act as enzymes-catalysts that increase the rate of virtually all the chemical reactions within cells. Although RNAs are capable of catalyzing some reactions, most biological reactions are catalyzed by proteins.
