Catalysts are a substance which speeds up the rate at which chemical reaction takes place.

Starch > AMYLASE > Maltose

Fats > LIPASE > Fatty Acids + Glycerol

Protein > PEPSIN > Peptides

Hydrogen Peroxide > CATALASE > Oxygen + Water

Glucose-1 -Phosphate > PHOSPHORYLASE > Starch

Enzymes only act on 1 substrate. Enzymes have active sites on their…
