Enzymes are biological catalysts that alter the rate of reactions occurring in the cells. Enzymes are protein in nature. This means that high temperature or extreme pH can denature an enzyme and the damage is irreversible.

Enzymes lower the activation energy of a reaction by providing an alternate path way that has lower activation energy.
