Introduction:

The catalysts that are present in the livings cells are called enzymes. The enzymes are protein molecules that may or may not be associated with other molecules like metal ions, and vitamins. The enzymes increase the efficiency of the reaction and help to turn a large number of substrate molecules into products. The enzyme is highly specific in nature and therefore reacts with only a particular type of substrate.
