Describe the role of enzymes in the regulation of metabolism and factors that alter enzyme activity

Enzymes Student’s Name Institution of Affiliation Course Name Instructor’s Name Date Enzymes Enzymes are significant biological catalysts in almost all biochemical processes taking place in the cell. Some enzymes decompose large nutrient molecules like fat, carbohydrates, and proteins into slighter particles. Other enzymes are crucial in guiding smaller, decomposed molecules into the circulation through the intestinal wall. Furthermore, some enzymes create significant and complex molecules to produce cellular elements. Various factors impact enzyme activity, including enzyme concentration. An increase in enzyme concentration surges the enzyme reaction rate, assuming enough substrate concentration is present. The pH also affects enzyme activity, where pH variation can denature enzymes by changing their charge, which changes the ionic bonds of the enzymes. Besides, the concentration of substances affects enzyme activity. As this concentration rises, ...
