Enzymes are fascinating biological catalysts that play essential roles in various processes within our bodies and the environment. Understanding enzymes can provide insights into everyday phenomena and applications.
Imagine you are a science journalist tasked with writing an article for a popular science magazine about the importance of enzymes in daily life. Your goal is to explain enzyme functions and applications in a way that is engaging and accessible to the general public.
Make an initial post by answering the first two questions. Each answer should be at least 200 words. Do not use AI-generated content, it will receive a 0:
What are enzymes, and how do they contribute to digestion? Explain the role of enzymes in breaking down food and facilitating nutrient absorption. (10 points)
Describe one real-life application of enzymes in industry or medicine. How does this application demonstrate the significance of enzymes beyond biological systems? (10 points)
Once you’ve made your initial post you will see your classmates’ answers. Complete the last part of this assignment. (Note if you’ve completed the initial post very early and are the first person to make the initial post you may not see anyone else’s work yet…since they’re procrastinating…unlike you).
3. Respond to at least one other classmate and provide feedback on their real-life enzyme application. Feedback like “I really like that answer” or “Wow, I never thought of that!” or “Wow, summer is just flying by!” will not earn any points. (5 points)
