What are these proteins called?

These proteins are called enzymes, and they work like special helpers that make jobs easier, just like how a kitchen helper makes cooking faster.

Imagine you're making a sandwich. You have bread, cheese, and ham, but you need to press them together. That's where the helper comes in, they press everything down so it sticks together nicely. Enzymes are like those helpers in your body. They help make important jobs happen, like breaking down food or building new cells.

Think of enzymes as little machines that fit perfectly with certain jobs. If you have a puzzle and the right piece fits into the spot, it works well, that's how enzymes work with their special tasks. They make sure everything in your body runs smoothly, just like how a helper makes your sandwich perfect.

Without enzymes, some of these jobs would take way longer or not happen at all, kind of like trying to build a tower without any bricks!
