Biological Detergents

The video explains how catalysts speed up reactions without being consumed, using a bicycle analogy. Enzymes are specific to substrates and are named with the suffix 'ase'. Biological detergents contain enzymes like proteases and lipases that break down stains. Cellulase is not used in detergents as it can damage cotton clothing, but amylases are safe for starches. Biological detergents are energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable, allowing laundry to be done in warm water, preserving clothing and colors.
