Enzymes are proteins that help in metabolic reactions by assisting in the transfer of electrons from one molecule to another. Hence, during metabolic functions, enzymes serve as catalysts that lower the activation energy, allowing such reactions to occur. During metabolism, enzymes may act on molecules called as substrates and is converting them into a different molecule that is simply known as products.
