Step 1

The enzyme is a class of protein except for ribozymes (class of RNA) increase the rate of the reaction inside the living body without changing themselves. They are also known as biocatalysts and help in various activities performed by the living body for survival. These molecules help in metabolic reactions, regulation, etc.
