Enzymes are complex molecules with intricate structure. It may help to think of them as being somewhat like keys: a key only opens the locks it fits, and enzymes only catalyze reactions where the molecule fits properly with the enzyme's active site.

What factor do enzymes play in controlling reactions in metabolic pathways?
What is the role of enzymes in metaboli pathways A metabolic pathway is a particular sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions.
Enzymes are used by cells to trigger and control particular chemical reactions?
Yes
Why are enzymes so vital to life?
Enzymes are catalysts for the various chemical processes in the body. By lowering the activation energy of reactions, these enzymes catalyze the biochemical reactions necessary for life.
Describe how enzymes catalyze metabolic reactions by lowering activation energy?
Enzymes lower activation energy because they have energy. Enzymes help to speed up reactions or start reactions by using their own internal energy to do so.
What is the substance called that helps chemical reactions happen in the body?
enzymes carry out chemical reactions, and enzymes are in proteins, so preoteins carry out chemical reactions
What are the chemical reactions in which enzymes are involved?
enzymes involve in bio chemical reactions.
How do enzymes affect the chemical reactions occurring in cells?
Enzymes are catalysts. They help lower the activation energy of reactions and increase the rate of the reaction. Without the help of enzymes, the biochemical reactions in the body would take so long that it would kill the person.
Which type of proteins activate some chemicals reactions in the body?
enzymes :)
How enzymes affect reactions?
Enzymes lower the activation energy required for reactions to occur
What controls reactions in a cell?
Enzymes.
Proteins that catalyze reactions are called?
Proteins that catalyze reactions are generally called enzymes.
Do enzymes slow down reactions?
are enzymes carbohydrates
