Summary Introduction

To add:

The terms substrate, active site, and activation energy to the concept map.

Concept introduction:

The enzyme is a proteinaceous molecule that acts as a catalyst inside the living organisms. The enzymes speed up the chemical reaction without being affected by reactions. The enzyme allows the chemical reaction to occur in mild condition. Enzyme neither affects the reaction nor affect the product formation.
