    ACTIVITY 10;
    1. Enzymes, which are produced by living cells, are catalysts in biochemical
    2. reactions (like digestion) and are usually complex or conjugated proteins. They may help
    3. in breakdown, rearrangement, or synthesis reactions. Enzymes that breakdown their
    4. substrates are called catabolic enzymes. Those that build more complex molecules
    5. from their substrates are called anabolic enzymes, and enzymes that affect the rate of

    reaction are called catalytic enzymes. In all these reactions, an enzyme will bind the
    substrate (reactant molecule) in an area on the enzymes surface called the active site,
    forming a substrate-enzyme complex. It should be noted that all enzymes increase the

    rate of reaction and, therefore, are considered to be organic catalysts. An example of

    enzyme is salivary amylase, which hydrolyzes its substrate amylose, a component of


    starch.
    Enzymes can be found all around us. They exist in all forms of lives, including
    human, plants, bacteria, and other organisms. Any living organism needs enzymes to
    function properly. Chemically, enzymes are naturally occurred proteins, basic function
    of which is to speed up the process and efficiency of a chemical reaction without being
    consumed in the process. In another word, an enzyme is a protein-based catalyst.
    Enzymes catalyze all kinds of chemical reactions that are involved in growth, blood
    coagulation, healing, diseases, breathing, digestion, reproduction, and many other
    biological activities. On biological aspects, enzymes are instrumental substances to
    many functions in living organisms.
    2. Specificity is a property of the enzyme and describes how restrictive the enzyme is in its
    choice of substrate; a completely specific enzyme would have only one substrate. ... The
    most important factor governing the fit of a substrate for an enzyme is the amino acid
    sequence around the bond to be cleaved.
