how does enzymes in your body make chemical reactions occur at safe temperature
Enzymes lower the activation energy of certain types of reactions. Because energy is directly related to heat, a lower activation energy corresponds to lower heat.
Enzymes are proteins.Proteins are made up of amino acids
yes
The are catalysts. They make it a LOT easier and more likely for some otherwise pretty improbably reactions to occur. Like all catalysts they aren't consumed by reactions they catalyse. But also present in the cells are many proteases. They breakdown proteins, including enzymes, and recycle the ingredients used to make them. And enzymes are continuously being produced, the amounts of which depend on what genes are expressed at the moment, all controlled by hundreds of hormones and other chemical signals with in and from outside the cell. So in this way the function of the cell can change in response to external cues and internal conditions.

Yes - without enzymes molecules can still bind together - but the process will usually take much longer. Enzymes are catalysts - which means that they lower the activation energy for reactions. This means that reactions occur more quickly. However, enzymes cannot make reactions occur which would not (eventually) occur without the enzyme present.

They are called catalysts so they speed up reactions. This is because they provide a site for reactions to occur which saves energy spent on moving (kinetic)

enzymes are biological catalysts. a catalyst is a chemical that increases the rate of a reaction and itself is not changed at the end of the reaction and does not change the nature of the reaction or its final result. catalysts make reactions go faster at lower temperatures by lowering the activation temperature required , thus ensuring that a larger percent of the population of reactant molecules will have sufficient energy to participate in the reaction.

To put it simply, a person would not survive. The enzymes allow chemical reactions to occur. Without enzymes, the body would not be able to gain nutrients, flush out toxins, or exhale carbon dioxide.
Enzymes catalyze(or speed up) chemical reactions to make nutrients.
