Answer 2

$\red{\bold{\underline{\underline{ Description \: of \: Enzymes \: :}}}}$

Almost all enzymes are made up of proteins. There are some nucleic acid that behave like enzymes. These are called Ribozymes .

An enzyme like any protein has a primary structure, that is Amino acid sequence of protein. An enzyme like any protein has the secondary and tertiary structure.

When you look at the Tertiary Structure of engine you will notice that the backbone of the protein chain for folds upon itself, the chain Criss-cross itself and hence, many Pockets are formed.

One such pocket is the Active Site. An active site of an enzyme is a Pocket into whitch the substrate fits.

Thus enzymes, through the active sites catalyzed reaction at a high rate.
