Metabolism

What is the primary role of enzymes inside of living cells? 

• organizing the translation of proteins
• allowing cells to be motile
• absorbing ultraviolet rays
• speeding up chemical reactions 

Based on their role in the cell, enzymes can also be classified as –

• inhibitors
• catalysts
•  hormones
• vitamins

Enzymes are able to speed up chemical reactions because they - 

• increase the temperature inside the cell
• reduce the friction between the reactants
• make the raw materials more chemically reactive
• lower the activation energy of the reaction
