Enzyme

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to prepare a meal, but you have a limited amount of time before guests arrive. Just like how a skilled chef can quickly and efficiently chop, mix, and cook ingredients to speed up the meal preparation, an enzyme acts as a catalyst in cells to accelerate chemical reactions. The chef, in this analogy, represents the enzyme, efficiently bringing together ingredients (the reactants) and transforming them into a delicious dish (the products) much faster than if they were left to cook on their own.
