Enzymes act as catalysts. They speed up the reaction time.

Enzyme
A catalyst. Definition from Pretence Hall Biology: A catalyst is a protein that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.
The function of enzymes in living things is to catalyze (instigate, speed up) chemical reactions.
enzymes. Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions in living organisms without being consumed in the process. They help lower the activation energy required for a reaction to occur.
Enzymes lower the activation energy (or free energy of activation for the very scientific) of the chemical reactions they catalyse. The enzymes can make a reaction proceed much more quickly than it otherwise would by astronomical figures, e.g. 109 times! Enzymes don't affect the equilibrium position, but they do affect the rate.
Enzymes are the organic molecules that act as biological catalysts.
it speed up or slow down reaction in a substrate and aids blood clotting,digestion of food. And others....
Enzymes are proteins found in living things that act to catalyze specific reactions. Made up of a complex of amino acids, enzymes are part of every chemical reaction in living things. They aid in digestion, the growth and building of cells, and all reactions involving the transformation of energy. Inside the cell, enzymes create RNA and DNA by facilitating the reaction of ribose with adenosine. They also specify the sites for linking to build RNA along a DNA template.
enzymes as described by my bio teacher do "chores" in the body, when something needs to be done, our body uses enzymes. you can recognize enzymes by looking for the suffix (ase) at the end of a word. An example of an enzyme and its use is Helicase, which unwinds DNA strands at the beginning of transcription.
Living things rely on enzymes to carry out essential chemical reactions in their bodies. Without enzymes, these reactions would occur too slowly or not at all, leading to the inability to survive. Therefore, living things cannot survive without enzymes.
