Enzymes are proteins that contain ribonucleic acid (RNA). An enzyme binds to one or more reactant Molecules to catalyze a reaction. The reactant molecule is referred to as the substrate. The fundamental duty of an enzyme is to increase the rate of Chemical reaction within the cell of an organism
Explanation:
- The enzyme is the term used to refer to the protein that catalyzes a chemical reaction in an organism.
- Enzymes are folded in complex shapes and it allows substrate molecule to fit into them .The place where the substrate molecule fit is know as the Active Site.
- A product is formed when a substrate fits into a enzyme.
