The Reedy River put Greenville on the mapâand, like its meandering currents and rushing falls, is the centerpiece for its rise, fall, and triumphant rise again. It has humble beginnings. Greenvilleâs Reedy River starts with a few springs seeping out of the ground just north in Travelers Rest off Ebenezer Church Road. It gathers strength, breadth, and force as it flowsâtouching thousands of lives by the time it reaches its most prominent feature in the heart of the city.
Role of enzymes in metabolism. Some enzymes help to break down large nutrient molecules, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, into smaller molecules. This process occurs during the digestion of foodstuffs in the stomach and intestines of animals. Other enzymes guide the smaller, broken-down molecules through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream.
Enzymes Examples. Special organic molecules called amino acids are used by living organisms to make proteins, and proteins are simply long chains of amino acids. Enzymes are special types of proteins also made from strings of amino acids. The enzyme's function is determined by the sequence and types of amino acids, and their shape. The functions of cells rely on these enzymes. The enzymes help produce and speed up the chemical reactions in cells. In short, the enzymes help cells get things done.
