Answer 2

Solution :-

In biology the word bio catylysts describes the word enzymes . Bio catylysts are nothing but enzymes which alter the rate of reaction . For ex - Pepsinogen , which is produced in the stomach of humans activated by HCl from a proenzyme called trypsin . It works in acidic medium and converts proteins into peptides and protons . Likewise there is another enzyme called Salivary amylase which is present in the saliva of humans converts starch into maltose . There is another enzyme called lipase which converts fats into fatty acids and glycerol .
