Enzymology‚ Catalytic Mechanism‚ Carbohydrate Metabolism‚ Adenosine Triphosphate Enzymes are proteins and their function is to act as catalysts to speed up certain chemical reactions in the cell that would be slower without them. This process occurs as steps in a cycle with separate reactions in each step. If there is a missing product the step in the cycle will be incomplete and the normal function of the organism cannot be accomplished causing negative effects on the organism. The biological

The phenomenon of homeostasis is understood as the ability the body has to stabilise its internal environment despite the ever changing external conditions (Waterhouse‚ 2007). This internal environment is an atmosphere which surrounds the cells and is therefore the medium in which the cells are in direct contact with in the body (Sherwood‚ 2001). The internal environment is essential for cell survival because cells require a constant supply of oxygen and food which is exchanged from the external
