The chart provides evidence that enzymes -
speed up chemical reactions.
This is indicated by the significantly reduced time for protein digestion when an enzyme is present (10 seconds compared to 60 seconds for protein only).
The digestion of food involves the body's use of enzymes to assist in breaking down organic compounds. The following chart illustrates the amount of time necessary for protein digestion in varying conditions.
