The definition of a catalyst is that it is something that speeds up a reaction without being used up itself. Therefore every reaction that takes place in the body that requires a catalyst/enzyme will do so, but the catalyst will remain intact at the end. Therefore the body does not have to keep making enzymes all the time. It only needs to replace the ones that are oxidized or otherwise degraded.
(A catalyst can also slow down a reaction.)

Does our body produce less enzymes as we get older?
Yes.
Why cells do not need to continuously manufacture large amounts of each enzyme?
Cells do not need to continuously manufacture large amounts of each enzyme since enzymes can be used over and over. Since they can be used in multiple reactions and in small amounts, enzymes don't have to be constantly made by the body.
Which organ in the body produce the largest quantity of enzymes in human body?
The pancreas produces the largest quantity of enzymes in the human body. It secretes enzymes that are important for digestion, such as amylase, lipase, and proteases, into the small intestine. These enzymes help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, respectively.
Why can time make up for a low enzyme concentration?
The tongue is the only part of the body that can produce enzymes
How can mutagens cause genetic mutations in spite of your body DNA repair enzymes?
Mutagens cause a change in DNA and by this way they can produce mutant DNA repair enzymes.
Does our body produce less enzymes as we get older?
Yes.
What will happen if a man runs out of sperm?
Sperm is produce continuously by the body
What is the function of the pancreus?

How is the body given energy?
enzymes give your body protein from the food you eat, you can also produce energy by consuming carbohydrates.
Why does Trans fats accumulate in your body?
because we may not produce enzymes able to metabolize these molecules
Why can time make up for a low enzyme concentration?
