Generation

## Enzyme Catalysis **Precise statement:** Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required, binding specific substrates at their active sites to stabilize the transition state, without being consumed in the reaction. **Why it matters:** Enzyme catalysis enables life-sustaining biochemical reactions to occur at sufficient rates under physiological conditions (body temperature, neutral pH) that would otherwise be impossibly slow. Without enzymes, essential processes like digestion, DNA replication, and cellular respiration would take thousands of years instead of milliseconds to seconds, making life as we know it impossible.
