A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the activation energy required for
Explanation of Solution
Enzymes are the chemical workers in a cell. The reactants that bind to the substrate are called substrates. A substrate binds to an enzyme at the active site. The active site and substratum shapes are complementary allowing them to interact in a particular way. The active site changes shape once the substrate binds to the active site and forms the enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme-substrate complex helps to break down
The most active enzyme in a human cell would be the
Enzymes have an effect on many biological processes. Metabolic enzymes catalyze and control each biochemical reaction within the human body making it essential for cellular function and optimal health.
