The purpose of an enzyme in a cell is to allow the cell to carry out chemical reactions very quickly
Cytoplasm might be 70-percent water. The other 30 percent is filled with proteins called enzymes
Enzymes have an active site. This is part of the molecule that has just the right shape and functional groups to bind to one of the reacting molecules. The reacting molecule that binds to the enzyme is called the substrate.
