What are enzymes? What is the importance of enzymes for the living beings?

Answer Posted / Anirudh Sharma

Enzymes are proteins that catalyze specific biochemical reactions in living organisms. They act as biological catalysts, lowering the activation energy required for a reaction to occur and increasing the reaction rate while remaining unchanged at the end of the reaction. The importance of enzymes for living beings includes: a) Accelerating chemical reactions (up to 10^17 times faster than non-catalyzed reactions), b) Regulating metabolic pathways, c) Maintaining homeostasis and overall cellular processes, d) Breaking down large molecules into smaller ones for energy production or growth, e) Building complex structures from smaller molecules, and f) Detoxifying harmful substances.
