Enzyme Analogy

$400

10$/ hr.

$ Breakdown 10$/ hr. X 4 = $ 40 Working only Saturday’s – $40 X 10 = $400 – You can buy the system in DE

But….

So…. $ Breakdown 20% of $400 = $80 Which means the PS4 will cost only $320!!

And you only need to work for 8 weeks!!

Unfortunately…

So what can cause harm… Change in pH (because soap is basic) Change in temperature (because the dryer gets pretty hot)

Just like an enzyme…

Substrate The compound that an enzyme changes during a chemical reaction.
