-Enzyme breaks down substrate in active site into products which leave active site
-Enzyme is re-used
What do Enzymes do?
Used to control all chemical reactions in our body
What are Enzymes?
-Biological Catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy needed
-Made out of Protein
-Used to break large molecules into smaller ones
Enzyme for sugars?
Amylase
Enzyme for amino acids?
Protease
