Assuming you mean "ligases," a ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of a chemical bond between two smaller molecules to form a larger one. The most common example is DNA ligase, which joins DNA strands together. This occurs on the lagging strand of DNA synthesis where synthesis occurs in short Okazaki fragments. These fragments are joined together by ligase, which acts to "seal the nicks" forming one continuous strand of DNA.

What is the definition of enzyme?
Enzymes are proteins that are able to catalyze (i.e accelerate) biochemical reactions. During the course of a reaction, the enzyme is able to convert a substrate to a product but the enzyme does not get consumed in the reaction.
If a protein performs catalysis are they an enzyme?
no, because enzymes are specific which they only catalyze one type of reactions.
What type of reaction is Anger is what type of physical reaction?
Anger is a physical reaction. and it is not chemical. i like physical reactions and chemical reactions.
Why some enzymes are called hydrolytic enzyme?
They catalyze hydrolysis reactions. These are reactions in which water is added to cause larger molecules (like long carbohydrates and other polymers) to break down into smaller subunits. Enzymes are typically named for the type of reaction they catalyze or for the substrate/product related to the enzymatic reaction
What chemical reactions the type of chemicals bonds being broken are?
This is a chemical reaction.
What type of chemical reactions do kinases catalyze?
Kinases are apart of the Transferases in the Enzymes of metabolism. Kinases transfers phosphate between substrates.
The enzymes that catalyze chemical reactions in living things are one type?
One type of catalyst. One type of protein. One type of biomolecule. There are many answers.
Are enzymes a type of acid and can they eat away flesh?
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze the chemical reactions inside the body. No, they are not acids, and no, they do not eat away flesh.
Which type of protein hepls to catalyze biochemical reactions?
That would be an enzyme.
What is the definition of enzyme?

Do proteins have anything to do with Enzymes catalyze reactions?
Yes, most if not all enzymes are some type of protein.
If a protein performs catalysis are they an enzyme?
no, because enzymes are specific which they only catalyze one type of reactions.
Matter that does not enter chemical reactions is described as what?
Matter that does not enter chemical reactions is described as inert. This type of matter cannot be altered by chemical reactions.
What type of reaction is Anger is what type of physical reaction?
Anger is a physical reaction. and it is not chemical. i like physical reactions and chemical reactions.
What are the symbols of chemical reactions categorise and represent chemical reactions according to type?
it's the periodic table

Which is a type of protein that speeds up chemical reactions in living things?
An enzyme is a type of protein that speeds up chemical reactions in living things by lowering the activation energy of said reactions.
