Enzymes are biological molecules‚ or proteins‚ that act as catalysts. Enzymes help complex reactions so that they may occur everywhere in life. For example‚ when you eat meat‚ the proteases work to help break down the peptide bonds that occur among the amino acids. Enzymes usually work to complete one specific job which makes them specific catalysts. They also won’t be found all over the body‚ enzymes are found in neural cells‚ intestinal cells‚ and saliva. Enzymes are among the many organic macromolecules

red blood cell count is below normal. A normal hemoglobin count for a female is 12.0grams/100ml and 13.5grams/100ml for a male. This can be hereditary but it can also occur in the body for a number of reasons such as massive blood loss‚ vitamin deficiency‚ and cell deformities. Anemia Anemia is a common blood disorder that occurs when your level of healthy red blood cells is too low. Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin‚ which is responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues. Anemia

Proteins Function of body protein: antibodies in the immune system‚ muscle contraction and movement‚ enzymes that facilitate biochemical reactions (catalysts)‚ hormones that regulate bodily activities‚ structural proteins that provide support‚ such as with keratin and collagen‚ found in connective tissues‚ storage proteins store amino acids‚ transport proteins carry molecules/nutrients from one place to another (i.e. hemoglobin). Also contributes to acid base balance

Enzymes and ATP Enzymes act as protein catalysts in biochemical processes Enzymes bind to a substrate and forms the enzyme substrate complex. Enzymes work by lowering the energy of activation. Activation energy must be supplied for the reaction to begin‚ once supplied‚ the reaction can proceed on its own. Enzymes can speed up events. They are not used by during the reaction because the enzyme stays the same‚ it does not change during the reaction. (Hudon-Miller‚ Enzymes‚ 2013) Enzymes act as

Nicola Cooper Student No; cs329513 What effect does alcohol have on a person’s health and life expectancy? The consumption of alcoholic beverages dates back to approximately 10‚000 years ago when viticulture’ (the selective cultivation of grape vines for making wine) is said to have originated in the mountains between the Black and Caspian Seas. (1) It is one of the most commonly used psychoactive drugs in the world. Alcohol interacts with gamma amino bultyric acid (GABA) receptors in the

Pythagoras was just worried his students would eat too many beans and‚ well‚ pass too much gas."[5] Many legends revolved around these beans. A cult called Orphics had believed those beans contained the soul of the dead. "Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency (Favism) is a hereditary condition in which red blood cells break down when the body is exposed to certain drugs or the stress of infection." A person with this condition will not display any signs of the disease until their red blood
