Answer:

Enzymes are the bio-catalyst produced by the body.

They increases the rate of bio-chemicals reaction taking inside the body.

They form enzyme-substrate complex in order to increase the rate of the reaction.

They are highly specific in nature.

Example:
  • Hexokinase catalyses the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate.
  • Salivary amylase catalyses the breakdown of starch into maltose (simpler sachharides).
  • Protein kinase is an enzyme used to activate or deactivate other by adding phosphate group to them.
