What do you know about enzymes? Do you think you will pass this quiz? Enzymes are complex proteins that cause a specific chemical change in the body. They are produced by living organisms to generate biochemical reactions in the body. Enzymes help break down the foods we eat so that the body can use them for energy. Take this quiz to learn more about enzymes.
