Step 1: Explaining about enzyme

An enzyme is usually made up of protein with different amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. It has a certain specific site which is called active site. Enzyme binds to the specific substrate to convert it into product without itself being used up in the reaction. It increases the rate of reaction by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction.
