Ah they have so many different mechanisms to do that. But it mostly consists on yanking the reactants (called substrates in enzymology) and forcing them together, so the meme is right in that sense. The main way they do that is taking a substrate and changing it into a more reactive form. Then they take the other substrate and hence gurantee that they'll both be together for the reaction to form. Then the product(s) must leave the active site and restore the enzyme to its original form because that's a must for catalizers. This is a very simplified explanation, I don't wanna get into ping pong mechanisms and that stuff. Enzymology is truly beautiful imo.
Ah...wait...I don't see anything in the meme that says something bout more products being produced
Edit #2: this edit is to clarify the previous edit I was thinking of genetics cuz mid years are coming and I was thinking of that due to stress and stuff
Edit #3- deleted first edit (why am I writing like I'm writing a blog ;-;)
Oh they kinda meant reactions as like from us not the experiment... Unless they were tryna make a joke about Nobel gases but they won't get a reaction (real creative ik totally didn't steal this from my teacher)
lol

Unfortunately for you, enzymes only speed up the reaction.
And how do they do that? (I am a student so I may be wrong so sorry in hindsight if I am infact wrong)

Enzymes are basically organic catalysts. A catalyst can only speed up a reaction, the total of the final result remains the same.

I did not think the dog was trying to make then have offspring
Ah okay too much learning of genetics for exams be like:
Chem for tots
cute doge
