INTRODUCTION: An enzyme is a substance that in most situations‚ is a catalyst‚ which increases the rate of reaction by contributing alternative reaction pathways of lower activation energy. Enzymes are able to do this by binding to reactant molecules and allowing them to cooperate in a more energy efficient way. If catalyzed by the appropriate enzyme‚ reactions that would take an extreme amount of time would rather occur in fractions of a second. First‚ enzymes increase the rate at which chemical

that speed up metabolic reactions. They lower the amount of energy needed for reactions to progress in cells. In enzymatic activity‚ the molecules at the beginning are called substrates. Lactose metabolism is when lactose is destroyed‚ maintained or produced. For instance‚ being lactose intolerance that’s where lactose is destroyed. Metal cofactors in enzyme activity are required to function properly. The Effect of Temperature on Enzymatic Activity: Based on what I know about the effect of temperature
