opus

opus

a musical piece or collection that is written by a famous composer followed by the date in which it was created

What is an "opus"?

An opus is a term used to identify a particular musical work by a composer, with each opus usually assigned a number that reflects the order in which it was composed. This numbering helps organize and catalog a composer’s body of work, especially when they have created many pieces. For example, Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5" is also known as "Opus 67," indicating it is the 67th work in his catalog. The use of "opus" provides a way to organize and reference a composer's compositions systematically.

enzima

a substance that all living organisms produce that brings about a chemical reaction without being altered itself

What is an "enzyme"?

Enzymes are special proteins that speed up biological reactions in the body. They help reactions occur more quickly by reducing the amount of energy needed to start them. Enzymes are highly specific, meaning each enzyme typically activates only one type of reaction or a few closely related reactions. They play crucial roles in various bodily functions, including digestion, metabolism, and cellular processes. For example, digestive enzymes aid in breaking down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body, while metabolic enzymes assist in chemical reactions involved in energy production and the creation of essential molecules. Without enzymes, many vital biochemical reactions would happen too slowly to sustain life processes.
