Is it non enzymatic or enzymatic?

To determine whether a process is non-enzymatic or enzymatic, one must consider the involvement of enzymes. Enzymatic processes rely on specific proteins that act as catalysts to accelerate biochemical reactions, while non-enzymatic processes occur without enzymes, often involving chemical reactions that happen spontaneously or through physical means. If enzymes are present and facilitate the reaction, it is enzymatic; if not, it is non-enzymatic.
