Answer: The enzyme is a catalyst that speed up the rate of the reaction.

Explanation:

The enzyme can be defined as the protein that is involved in the catalytic activity of the reaction. The shape of the enzyme is important as it determines to which substrate it binds to. The enzyme is specific to the substrate and binds to a specific kind of substrate. During the digestion process the enzyme binds to the specific substrate like protein, carbohydrates, fats, and other biomolecules present in the food to simplify the digestion process. Starch is digested into maltose by the enzyme salivary amylase in the mouth.
