Cell Biology Laboratory #3 Enzymes Many chemical reactions in biology are not able to proceed on their own. Instead, they need a catalyst in order for the reaction to proceed normally. In biology there are certain proteins that play an important role as catalysts. We call these proteins enzymes. In many cases in Biology, enzymes act to break down really large molecules into their smaller components. For an example of how an enzyme functions in biology, let’s take a brief look at digestion. A large portion of the nutrients in a potato is starch
