ENZYMES
The people body consists of a lot of manners, that one we gonna talk is the chemical reactions in our body, chemical reactions is a process that changes or transforms, one set of chemicalsinto another, always involves changes in the chemical bonds that join atoms in compounds.

The chemical reactions affects our body to release energy often occur spontaneously, that absorbs energywill not occur without a source of energy, but either exist something that calls activation energy that is energy that we needed to get a reaction started.

Can we start to talk of enzyme areproteins that act as biological catalyst (catalyst is a substance that speed up the rate of chemical reaction), enzymes speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells, the purpose of any enzyme in acell is to allow the cell to carry out chemical reactions very quickly. These reactions allow the cell to build things or take things apart as needed. This is how a cell grows and reproduces. At themost basic level, a cell is really a little bag full of chemical reactions that are made possible by enzymes.
Enzymes are made from amino acids and they are proteins. When an enzyme is formed it is madeby stringing together between 100 and 1000 amino acids in a very specific and unique order.

They work for a chemical reaction to take place, the reactants must collide with enough energy so thatexisting bonds will be broken and new bonds will be formed. The enzymes can be affected by any variable that influences a chemical reaction.

Enzymes includes those that help digest food, areaffected by the temperature are work best when the human body is in 37 grades.
The enzymes either can regulate that activity by the help of cells.

There are four steps in the process of any enzyme atwork:
Enzyme and a substrate are in the same area. The substrate is the biological molecule that the enzyme will work on.
The enzyme grabs on to the substrate at a special area called the active...
