Metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy.

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts (biocatalysts). Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions.

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.

The components that make up the enzyme are apoenzymes and prosthetic groups.

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.

Enzymes work in influencing the digestive process of every food we consume.

assumes that the substrate plays a role in determining the final shape of the enzyme.

Enzyme inhibitor is a molecule that binds to an enzyme and blocks its activity.

Enzyme activity can be affected by a variety of factors, such as temperature, pH, and concentration.

Digestion is the breakdown of carbohydrates to yield an energy rich compound called ATP.

protein catabolism is the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides and ultimately into amino acids.

the main source of energy for cells and an important part of aerobic respiration.

Catabolism of a molecule of glucose by fermentation produces much less ATP than catabolism of a molecule of glucose by respiration.

Fatty acid catabolism is the mechanism by which the body accesses energy stored as triglycerides.
