Are enzymes helpful?
Yes, Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions. When you catalyze something, you either decrease or increase the rate of it. Some enzymes are used commercially, for example, in the synthesis of antibiotics. In addition, some household products use enzymes to speed up the chemical reactions. Enzymes in washing powders break down protein or fat stains on clothes; enzymes in meat tenderizers break down proteins into smaller molecules, making the meat easier to chew.
What makes bile to break down fat?
