Description
“While the ultimate purpose of the human
reproductive system is to produce offspring, the
proximate purpose is to produce pleasure and
induce bonding. This can be seen in our closest
relatives, the bonobo chimpanzees, who have sex
for a wide variety of reasons including pleasure,
bonding, and alleviating tension in addition to
producing offspring.”

animals) and functioning as highly selective
biochemical catalysts in converting one
molecule into another. Enzymes are essential to
life because they speed up metabolic reactions
to a very great extent, but do not undergo any
change in themselves. In the industry they are
used for degrading oil spills and wastes into

stains, and in fermentation processes to make
alcoholic beverages. Enzymes are very
sensitive to environmental conditions and
function best only within a narrow range of
temperature and acidity (pH) levels.
