What are enzymes and what is their function in organisms?
Top. Every enzyme has a specific function One of the unique things about enzymes is that they have one function and one function only. Every function or substrate in an organism has its own unique enzyme. The substrate which is to be transformed fits the enzyme like a key in a lock.nzymes are the workhorses of the body. When you eat, enzymes break down the food into tiny particles which can be converted into energy in the body. The process starts in the mouth, where an enzyme called amylase attacks all incoming food particles.
Enzymes are large biomolecules that are responsible for many chemical reactions that are necessary to sustain life. Enzyme is a protein molecule and are biological catalysts. Enzymes increase the rate of the reaction. Enzymes are specific, they function with only one reactant to produce specific products.nzymes are highly selective, they catalyze specific reactions only. Enzymes have a part of a molecule where it just has the shape where only certain kind of substrate can bind to it, this site of activity is known as the 'active site'. The molecules that react and bind to the enzyme is known as the 'substrate'.
