@biologyto: 🧪🐈 WHAT DO ENZYMES ACTUALLY DO? EXPLAINED WITH CATS Your body is basically a chaotic lab — mixing, breaking, building stuff 24/7. 💥 Digesting pizza, replicating DNA, turning sugar into zoom energy... It’s a biochemical party in there. BUT — plot twist — without enzymes, all these reactions would move slower than a cat getting out of a warm bed 🐈💤 We’d literally fall apart. (Or worse — digest dinner in 500 years.) So nature hired some very fast, very picky employees: 🧪 Enzymes — your body’s tiny protein speedsters with a flair for drama and specificity. 🎯💅 Let’s see how they slay their job — step by step: 🧩 1. Substrate Meets Enzyme Think of it like a cat-shaped key fitting into a cat-shaped lock 🔐😸 ⚙️ 2. Enzyme-Substrate Complex Forms The enzyme now holds the molecule in the perfect position to react 🧲 ⏬ 3. Activation Energy Gets Lowered This is the magic moment: the enzyme lowers the activation energy, making the reaction happen faster and easier than it normally would. ✨ 4. Products Are Released The chemical reaction takes place, and the products are released from the enzyme. The enzyme stays unchanged — ready to repeat the process again.  📌 Enzymes = Essential, Specific, Reusable. And maybe just a little bit dramatic under pressure 😼 #enzymes #biologyhumor #Science #funscience #cellularbiology #biologynotes #biologymemes #learnscience
