Answer 1

Ans) Anabolism is the biosynthesis of complex molecules from simple precursors. Wheras, Catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules to simple precursors with the release of energy.

Enzymes are also called catalysts (since they speed up the reaction without getting actually used up in the chemical reaction) which acts on substrate to produce products.

Enzymes also lower the activation energy.

The rate is affected by pH (acids and bases) and temperature (Optimum pH and temperature for each enzyme differs. It is represented by the bell shaped curve).
