The proteins known as enzymes are vital to living things because they speed up chemical reactions up to a trillion times.
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.

No. Enzymes are biological and thus are related to living things; metals are not biological.
Enzymes act as catalysts in living things.
Living things use enzymes instead of a heat source of activation energy because they speed up chemical reactions as well as the metabolism in those living things.
Enzymes act as biological catalysts, speeding up various bodily reactions.
Enzymes act as catalysts. They speed up the reaction time.

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