An amino acid can be thought of as having two components: a 'backbone', or 'main chain', composed of an ammonium group, an 'alpha-carbon', and a carboxylate, and a variable 'side chain' (in green below) bonded to the alpha-carbon.

The catalyst speeds up oxidation of unburned hydrocarbons and CO which would otherwise be emitted from the exhaust as air pollutants.

It explains enzymes as biological catalysts that facilitate reactions by binding substrates at active sites, and describes how inhibitors can disrupt their function either competitively or non-competitively. Additionally, it notes that some enzymes need cofactors, which are non-protein molecules essential for their activity.

A cell’s metabolism refers to the combination of chemical reactions that take place within it. Catabolic reactions break down complex chemicals into simpler ones and are associated with energy release. Anabolic processes build complex molecules out of simpler ones and require energy. In studying energy, the term system refers to the matter and environment involved in energy transfers.
