BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are proteins that help speed up metabolism, or the chemical reactions in our bodies. They build some substances and break others down. All living things have enzymes. Our bodies naturally produce enzymes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Apoenzyme. Most enzymes are made up of a protein part, which is conjugated to a non-protein group called cofactor by covalent or non-covalent interactions. The protein part of the enzyme, which is inactive without the cofactor is called an apoenzyme.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes are proteins, and they make a biochemical reaction more likely to proceed by lowering the activation energy of the reaction, thereby making these reactions proceed thousands or even millions of times faster than they would without a catalyst.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Enzymes are proteins that allow key chemical reactions to take place within your body.
