1 Enzymes

2 What is an enzyme? Organic catalyst Protein molecule

3 Speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy What is the function of an enzyme?

4 Activation Energy energy required to start all chemical reaction How can all reactions require energy, if some are considered exergonic/exothermic?
