Question

What are enzymes and bio catalysts and how are they interelated?

Answer 1

Enzymes are the proteins that control the speed of metabolic reactions in our body. Without enzymes , these reactions would take place too slowly to keep us alive. They accelerate many metabolic reactions. That is why they are known as biochemical catalyst.

Enzymes are called biocatalysts because they increase the rate of biochemical reactions in living organisms. Without enzymes, these reactions would take place too slowly to keep us alive.

Enzymes are organic catalysts.
