I'm not a science student. Therefore, please keep your replies simple and straightforward so that your help can be fully appreciated. Thanks.
I was told by someone that one should keep rice soaked into water for at least 30 minutes because it activates enzymes.
Similarly, I have been told when a fruit is taken off of a tree it starts rotting because enzymes start their action.
Enzymes are simply chemicals (organic molecules to be precise). Right? When rice is soaked in water, they get activated. Perhaps, because some reaction is kick started by water. Further, water is also needed for germination of rice.
Why a fruit is taken off, why do enzymes get activated? What purpose?
Please guide me.
