Why are enzymes called biocatalysts? Briefly discuss the mode of enzyme action.
Answer
Biocatalysts: Enzymes are called biocatalysts because they accelerate biochemical reactions without being consumed in the process.
Mode of Action: Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy required for a reaction to occur. They bind to specific substrates at their active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex, which facilitates the conversion of substrates into products.
