Enzymes are proteins that process certain substrates (substances).
Each enzyme has a different purpose,
builder enzymes: builder enzymes take 2 or more substrates in to their "active site" and creates a new substance.
Breaker enzymes: Breaker enzymes "break down" substrates via their "active site" this is important in the human body.
Some important enzymes for humans are:
Protease: Breaks down protiens,
Carbohydrase: breaks down carbohydrates
Lipase: Breaks down fats

What are the jobs of proteins?
There are many, but they include breaking down things (enzymes) part of the immune response (antibodies), and holding cell membranes together.
What jobs do proteins do?
Proteins has two important role mainly, forming structure of cells or body and does the functional role such as enzymes, hormones, antibodies etc. Structural proteins such as collagen, keratin, actin, myosin build up the body. Enzymes catalyse the biochemical conversion of a substrate.
What are the catalyst found in living cells called?
Catalysts that are active working in the body are called enzymes.
What are ''thermolabile enzymes''?
The enzymes which degrade or decomposed when heated are called thermolabile enzymes
What is a serum enzymes?
Serum enzymes are any type of enzymes that are found in the blood.
What is the main jobs of enzymes?
They involve in digestion processes
What jobs do enzymes do in the body?
type of protein that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction in your body.

What is the scientific name of enzymes?
Enzymes belong to a class of proteins called "biocatalysts" and do not have a single scientific name. They are named based on the substrate they act upon and end with the suffix "-ase." For example, the enzyme that breaks down proteins is called protease.
Why liver is large?
because it does a lot of jobs. there is so much going on that it needs a lot of space, to store poisons and damaged red blood cells, as well as enzymes, and bile, but it also needs to do a lot of other jobs, and needs space for those to happen.
What is lipid enzymes?
enzymes
Are proteins a enzymes?
Proteins are not enzymes. Enzymes are protein,tertiary proteins
What do enzymes do in saliva?
The only enzymes I am aware of in saliva are Amylase enzymes. These enzymes break down Carbohydrates. Hope this helps!
What are the catalyst found in living cells called?
Catalysts that are active working in the body are called enzymes.
Denatured enzymes are the same as?
Denatured enzymes are the same as enzymes that can no longer function.
Complex organic molecules that work with enzymes to facilitate the enzymes?
co-enzymes
