Science - Metabolism, Enzymes and Homeostasis

This is all the chemical reactions that take place in the cells of organisms

They are biological catalysts.  This means that they speed up the chemical reactions in cells but does not get used up in the reaction

This is the substance the enzyme acts on

This is what the enzyme changes the substance into

Maltose is an example of an enzyme

It acts on the substrate maltose and breaks down into the product glucose (sugar)

This is making sure that our body stays at the same condition even through the conditions outside the body may change

Sweating and shivering are examples of how the body maintains homeostasis
