Enzymatic Activity

Enzymatic activity refers to the way enzymes, which are special proteins in living organisms, facilitate biochemical reactions. Enzymes act as catalysts, speeding up reactions without being consumed in the process. They work by lowering the energy required for a reaction to occur, allowing it to happen more quickly and efficiently. Each enzyme is specific to a particular reaction or substrate, meaning it only works on certain molecules. This activity is crucial for various biological processes, including digestion, metabolism, and DNA replication, helping organisms maintain their functions and adapt to their environments.
