  • Enzymes: Biological Catalysts - How They Speed Up Reactions
    Enzymes are considered biological catalysts. Here's why:

    * Catalysts: Enzymes speed up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. They lower the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, making it happen faster.

    * Biological: Enzymes are proteins (with a few exceptions like ribozymes, which are RNA molecules). They are produced by living organisms.

    In summary, enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up biochemical reactions within living organisms.
