THIS QUESTION IS DUE IN 10 MINUTES I NEED HELP PLEASE ASAP Define the term enzyme. Describe how enzymes influence metabolic reactions in the cell.

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products. Some enzymes help to break down large nutrient molecules, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, into smaller molecules. Each enzyme is able to promote only one type of chemical reaction. The compounds on which the enzyme acts are called substrates.

Biochemistry, it deals with the chemical constitution, the breakdown and the synthesis of plant and animal products.
