More About dehydrogenase
Dehydrogenases are very small helpers. They are found in all living things. They help change food and drinks into energy. This is how we can run, jump, and play!
Every time we eat or drink, dehydrogenases help us. They make sure our body gets what it needs. This helps us grow and stay healthy.
In the future, we may learn more about dehydrogenases. They might help us make new foods or drinks. This could be fun and good for us!
