Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts to speed up chemical reactions in the body. Each enzyme has a specific name that often reflects its function or the substrate it acts upon. For example, amylase breaks down starch into sugars, while lactase helps digest lactose in dairy products. Overall, the term "enzyme" refers to a broad category of proteins, rather than a single enzyme.
