1. Why is rennin important to making cheese?
2. Provide a brief overview of how milk transforms into curds and whey and then into cheese.
3. Do some research on another enzyme that humans use. Describe the enzyme's substrates and products, and why this enzyme is helpful to humans.
4. If you could invent an enzyme to catalyze a reaction for you, what reaction would it catalyze and why? Be creative.

Rennin is crucial in cheese-making as it coagulates milk into curds and whey. The transformation of milk into cheese involves several processes, including coagulation, curd cutting, and aging. Another useful enzyme is amylase, which helps digest starches, and if I could invent one, it would help break down plastics for environmental cleanup.

Rennin is essential in cheese-making as it coagulates milk, transforming it into curds and whey, which can then be processed into cheese. Another enzyme, amylase, aids in digesting starches into sugars, crucial for energy absorption. If I could invent an enzyme, it would catalyze the breakdown of saturated fats into healthier unsaturated fats to promote better health. ;
