∙ 8y agoEnzymes are specific to a certain molecule. As amylase will break down starch, there are many other pairs like this. An enzyme is a protein which has been molded to a specific shape to fit with the substrate it will break down such as amylase to starch which will break it down into glucose molecules. The enzyme and substrate fit like a 'lock and key' and once the molecule has been broken down it carries on to be used in the body.

What do all organisms do to food in order to use the nutrients in it?
i think all organisms break down the foods through physical and chemical steps such as chewing food (physical) and breaking it down with hydrochoric acid in your stomach (chemical). The nutrients can then be used for many purposes once the food has been broken down fully.
