What food type makes enzymes?

Enzymes are found in all living things - they are the catalysts for most biochemical reactions - so all foods that are living will have enzymes. Once they have been cooked or preserved the enzymes will have denatured and no longer be present.


Why are enzymes used to perform hydrolysis in living systems?

Enzymes are needed to lower the activation energy so that the reaction can occur at temperatures at which living things can survive.
