Question: what is enzymes

Joseph Finlayson answered on 15 Jun 2011:

Enzymes are very complicated proteins that produced by living things and they speed up chemical reactions. They allow us to digest food, process waste products and produce vitamins that our body needs.

If you put an enzyme into a glass of water with some mushed up bread for example, it will turn all of the starch in that bread into sugar – even at room temperature. What is fascinating about enzymes is that even the best scientists can’t recreate all the enzymes that our body produces. For scientists to make the same chemical reactions happen, they must use very high temperatures or very high pressures.
