What do enzymes mean to me?

Do you ever spend time in the kitchen when mom or grandma are baking bread?  Well..there are actually chemical reactions taking place throughout this process!  Our ingredients (the reactants) undergo chemical reactions with the help of enzymes (catalysts) to form products.  The following link will bring you to the site blogs.scientificamerican.com which has an awesome post about what is really going on when you bake bread.  Share this with your family next time you see them baking in the kitchen!
