Question

Give one real life example of an enzymatic reaction in the human body.

Answer 1

Answer:

Enzymes are the bio-catalyst produced by the body.

They increases the rate of bio-chemicals reaction taking inside the body.

They form enzyme-substrate complex in order to increase the rate of the reaction.

They are highly specific in nature.

Example:

• Hexokinase catalyses the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate.

• Salivary amylase catalyses the breakdown of starch into maltose (simpler sachharides).
• Protein kinase is an enzyme used to activate or deactivate other by adding phosphate group to them.
