Enzymes
  1. They are proteins
    1. Each protein is made of a different series of amino acids
    2. Each enzyme has a different ACTIVE SITE
      1. Each active site works for a speciific substrate
        1. Lock and Key system
      2. Biological Catalysts
        1. They speed up reactions in the body
        2. General
          1. pH & Temperature effects how the enzyme works
            1. If the Temperature is too high or the pH too low the enzymes become denatured
              1. Meaning the active site no longer fits the substrate it is meant to work for
