"There are three classes of enzymes: metabolic enzymes, which run our bodies; digestive enzymes, which digest our food; and food enzymes from raw foods, which start food digestion. Our bodies are run using metabolic enzymes. Enzymes convert the food we eat into chemical structures that can pass through the cell membranes of the cells lining the digestive tract into the bloodstream."
Enzymes: are proteins that act as catalysts in mediating and speeding up a specific chemical reaction.
Check out this link on the "wisegeek" website:
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-enzymes.htm
It suggests that there are an estimated 75,000 human enzymes.

its a stuffed up question and no one shoud be put threw this stuff in science heheh :)

∙ 9y agoThere are more than 1,000 kinds of enzymes in the human body, and each enzyme is responsible for one particular job. The majority of the enzymes humans have are produced in the body, but some come from a person's diet.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoAbout 300 types of enzymes. They are different enzymes, However, the total quantity may vary, depending on several health conditions. Every type of enzyme is represented by a lot of them.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThere are thousands of enzymes in a human body. There is not really a specific number.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe enzymes that are found in the body act as catalysts for chemical reactions. Some examples of enzymes in the body are pepsin, trypsin, DNA polymerase and amylase.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agototal number of enzymes found to be in human body is around 75000.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe body makes over 1300 enzymes with each enzyme having its own important functions to complete so the body works well. Enzymes are made from around 100 to 1000 amino acids.

Different Answer:
Many people said there was an estimate of 75000 enzymes. I seriously doubt the top answer is correct.

What produces enzymes in the pancreas?
How many litres of blood are found in the human body
Why is it advantageous for the human body to have many different enzymes?
Each enzymes had a specific job. Meaning one kind could not do what others can. Meaning having many enzymes would be advantageous (or neccessry) for our body to do many kinds of chemical reactions.
Where is lyases found in the body?
There are many lyase enzymes in the human body. Liver, kidney, brain, and other tissues.
What do enzymes do for the body?
Enzymes are globular proteins that function as biological catalysts in the body. They help to activate and speed up anabolic and catabolic reactions. For example, enzymes help to break down/digest the food you eat.
How many known enzymes does a human cell have?
100
Why are so many varied phenotypes within a species such as human?
The phenotypes are affected by your enzymes since all metabolic activities of our bodies are down to enzymes.. Your Enzymes are proteins. They have been made from translation after transcription. Thus Your DNA got transcribed to make the enzymes.

Why does your body need nytorogen?
Your body requires nitrogen as it is a basic precursor of amino acids. These amino acids are made into essential proteins which include enzymes which catalyze many of the required chemical reactions in a human body.
What diseases can develop due to high enzyme levels?
One needs to specifically indicate which enzyme one is referring to. If one is taking about the human body, there are many enzymes that targets and works to help the body.
How many cells are in a body?
Fifty to seventy-five million cells make up the human body.
