Metabolism
Enzymes
What is Enzymes
Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts (biocatalysts). Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions.
-
Properties
Enzymes only change the rate of a reaction. So, enzymes do not change the final product formed or affect the balance of the reaction, only increase the rate of a reaction. Second, enzymes work specifically. Therefore, enzymes only affect certain substrates.

Factors that affect
Enzyme activity can be affected by a variety of factors, such as temperature, pH, and concentration.
Catabolism
What is Catabolism
Catabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units that are either oxidized to release energy or used in other anabolic reactions.
-
-
Fermentation
Catabolism of a molecule of glucose by fermentation produces much less ATP than catabolism of a molecule of glucose by respiration.
-
Protein
protein catabolism is the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides and ultimately into amino acids.
Anabolism
-
Photosynthesis
photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy.
