  "term": "Enzymic decomposition",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The process of breaking down complex substances into simpler components through the action of enzymes. This biological degradation is highly specific, with each enzyme typically catalyzing a particular type of reaction. It is a fundamental process in biological systems for nutrient acquisition and waste management.",
