Enzymes & Biochemistry
An educational song teaching about enzyme function and biochemical reactions using the rhythm of 'Pat-a-Cake'.
Catalyze, catalyze, enzyme man, Speed reactions fast as you can! Cut it and fold it, shape it and see — Proteins and sugars made easily!
Sugar in, sugar split in two, Lock and key — that's what enzymes do! Active site holds the molecule tight, Snip-snap-clap — and out it flies right!
Catalyze, catalyze, enzyme man, Faster than reactions on their own can! Without the heat, without the fuss, Bodies use enzymes — that's a plus!
Bake the bread, ferment the dough, Yeast has enzymes — watch them go! Stomach juice and saliva too, Enzymes in everything that you do!
Lipase, lactase, amylase too, Each one has its job to do! Lipase cuts fat, lactase splits MILK-SUGAR, Amylase cuts starch into smooth like silk!
Catalyze, catalyze, enzyme man, Speed reactions fast as you can! Cut it and fold it, shape it and see — Proteins and sugars made easily!
So next time food is in your tum, Thank the enzymes — yum-yum-yum! Catalyze, catalyze, enzyme man — Tiny workers with the master plan!
