Enzymes Metabolic Reactions Conditions Exmplain Life Importance Important

Front Exmplain why enzymes are necessary for life.
Back Importance of enzymes:
  • Most important metabolic reactions are very slow without catalysts and would need to happen at very high temp and pressures to be quick enough for importnat life processes
  • These conditions would damage cell components and impossible to reach in living cells
  • Enzymes solve the problem - speed up metabolic reactions without the need for harsh environmental conditions
