There are 1000's of enzymes in the body. In a biochemical pathway there maybe be multiple enzymes used! for examply, glycolysis..
Food molecules are used in biosynthesis, because first those molecules are broken down, by things such as digestion. Then when they are finally in a simpler form, they are Biosynthesized. This means that using enzymes as catalysts, they connect the substrates, and are transformed into a more complex product which the cell needs. Some examples of this are proteins and vitamins.
Heme biosynthesis is significant because heme is a crucial molecule involved in many important biological processes, such as oxygen transport, energy production, and drug metabolism. Defects in heme biosynthesis can lead to various disorders, including porphyrias, which are characterized by abnormal heme production and can result in symptoms such as skin sensitivity to sunlight, abdominal pain, and neurological symptoms. Understanding heme biosynthesis can help in the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.

in the stomach to break down food
Owing to a defect in one of the enzymes of the heme biosynthesis pathway, protoporphyrins or porphyrins (heme precursors) are prevented from proceeding further along the pathway.
Enzymes are present throughout the body.

enzymes are used to cure some cancers and are in some drugs like worming tablets. The body also has enzymes in places like the digestive system. Enzymes are very useful =]
