Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the body. They aid in processes like digestion. They break down proteins into amino acids and carbohydrates into sugars. Enzymes usually have the suffix -ase. Sucrase, for example breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose. Urease breaks down urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide.
Enzymes are biological catalysts - they are very important because they speed up chemical reactions. Without enzymes, some of the processes vital for life would not progress at a rate fast enough to sustain life.
Enzymes affect the reactions in living cells by changing the....?
They catalyze the reaction.
Enzymes act as catalysts of chemical reactions
The enzymes in the cell act as catalysts for chemical reactions. They lower the activation energy of these reactions in order to speed up the reaction rate.

ENZYMES! its in my text book.
To carry out biochemical reactions enzymes are needed as catalyst.
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in a cell. without enzymes, many chemical reactions that are neccassarry for life would either take to long or not occur at all.
No, they are not.

Enzymes act as catalysts of chemical reactions
Enzymes are beneficial to cells due to the functions that they perform. Most chemical reactions are catalyzed by enzymes in the cell.
