catalyzes chemical reactions. In the process of enzymatic reactions, the
molecules at the start of the process are known by the name of
substrates. The enzyme is able to convert them into the products. Many
enzymes are seen to work by lowering the activation energy of the
chemical reactions. The following image very clearly depicts the working
of an enzyme.
