    Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up reactions. They end with "...ase" and can only work on one type of molecule. Examples are amylase, which cuts up starch, and proteases like trypsin and pepsin. Enzymes have an active site that the substrate fits into like a key in a lock. Even small changes to the substrate can stop the enzyme from working. Enzymes can break down molecules into smaller ones, and can also join molecules together.
