2.8: Understand the role of Enzymes as Biological Catalyst in Metabolic Reactions

ENZYMES: Enzymes are biological catalyst in Metabolic Reactions (digestion) as they allow Substrates to bind onto their active site, breaking them down into products

COMMON ENZYMES:

ENZYME	REACTION
AMYLASE / MALTASE	Starch → Glucose
PROTEASE	Protein → Amino Acids
LIPASE	Lipids → Fatty Acids & Glycerol
