Question

What are enzymes? (Topic:Biomolecules)

Answer 1

here's your answer dude.
ENZYMES....
Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysts. Enzymes accelerate chemical reactions. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products.
BIOMOLECULES....
A biological molecule is a loosely used term for molecules and ions that are present in organisms, essential to some typically biological process such as cell division, morphogenesis, or development.Biomolecules include large macromolecules (or polyanions) such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, as well as small molecules such as primary metabolites, secondary and metabolites etc

Answer 2

Enzymes are bio-catalysts that alter the rate of bio-chemical reactions within an organism but does not take part in the reaction .

Few Characteristics of enzymes

⇒ Enzymes act as a catalyst . They do not take part in the bio-chemical reaction.However they change the rate of the reaction

⇒ Enzymes are very specific.They only act on particular substrates and are specific in their actions

⇒ Enzymes are complex macromolecules like sugars.They are made up of many molecules combined together.

⇒ Enzymes can only function at an optimum temperature of 35 - 40°C.

⇒ Enzymes are proteins and they behave like proteins.

⇒ Enzymes are active and rapid in action.

⇒ These enzymes are affected by hormones secreted by endocrine glands
