Enzymes
How do they operate?
Enzymes work when a substrate comes inside of the enzyme, then the enzyme turns the substrates to products. 
What are enzymes?
Enzymes are molecules that significantly increase the speed of all chemical reactions that happen inside cells.
Examples of Enzymes
Maltase: found in saliva, is used for breaking down sugar Lactase: Breaks down lactose
Trypsin: Used to break proteins into amino acids
Operating conditions
For enzymes to work efficiently, the area around them has to be perfect. The body temperature has to be around 37 degrees and for the pH level to be somewhere at 7.5
Vitamins
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is an essential vitamin for humans to grow and keep on being healthy, vitamin D can be obtained from various sources such as red meat, oily fish and eggs. Vitamin D helps regulate the calcium and phosphate in our body.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is especially helpful for keeping our immune system on check and helping vision in dim light. We can obtain Vitamin A by consuming foods like dairy products, eggs and oily fish.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is good for us because it protects our body against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease and skin wrinkling. We can take vitamin C by eating food like citrus fruit (oranges and such), peppers, potatoes, broccoli and many more.
Vitamin K
Vitamin K is helpful for blood clothing and healing wounds, it can be found in green leafy vegetables, grains and veggie oil.
Dna RNA and ATP
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a double helix-shaped molecule that carries the genetic information for development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. DNA contains 4 nucleobases, adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. These nucleobases and the deoxyribose in the DNA is what forms it.
RNA or ribonucleic acid transforms the information stored in DNA to proteins. It also regulates cellular processes such as cell division, differentiation and growth to cell ageing and death.
ATP is a molecule that carries energy in its cells and it is the main carrier of the cell. It stores energy for the cell and uses it when needed by the cell.

Amino acids
Amino acids are the compounds that form proteins, they are made up of 4 parts: an amino group, a hydrogen atom, a carboxyl group and a R group.
