Not exactly. An enzyme is a form of catalyst. Organic in nature, they can be astonishingly powerful compared to the inorganic catalysts such as platinum, nickel or water. A catalyst generally speeds up a reaction. The control of reaction speeds in the body usually involves two enzymes, one a catalyst and the other an antagonist which interferes with the function of the first one. Some form of feedback loop finely adjusts the amounts of each of these, and the balance controls the speed of the reaction.
enzymes helps control chemical reactions by the chemical in it called collagen when enzymes enter your body they create a chemical reactions and controls the chemical reactions you get by eating too much acids.
its not that they regulate the rate of the reaction, they act as catalysts to either speed up the reaction or lowers the activation energy of the reaction so it can take place. There are different enzymes that do this for different chemical reactions.
enzymes control the chemical reactions inside cells
They allow them to occur at a lower temperature that will not damage your body, and lower the amount of energy needed to create the reaction (called the energy of activation.)

Enzymes as such do not control things directy. However, the rate of a biochemical reaction can be controlled by enzymes.
The Reaction Rate
It acts as an catalyst and activate the rate of reaction.
Enzymes are not a product or reactant, they just make it easier for the reaction to happen. If they are changed, they are part of the reaction, and not enzymes.
Enzymes are considered to be catalysts; they increase the rate of a chemical reaction.

The reaction rate is affected by enzymes.
the more enzymes, the faster the reaction
Heat can change the rate of reaction
Actually, enzymes are typically used to catalyse a biological reaction, leading to a faster reaction rate, not slower.
Why heating enzymes usually produces a faster rate of reaction?

Enzymes are biocatalysts, they accelerate the reaction rate. Different individual enzymes operate by different mechanisms.
