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 are some biological enzymes?
All enzymes are biological, strictly speaks they are conducting biochemical reactions in the living cells. Classical example would beta galactosidase enzyme catalyse the hydrolytic break down of Lactose into Galactose and Glucose
What are the enzymes in siliva?
You have probably only one important enzyme, that is present in saliva. That is called as 'Ptyalin'. This enzyme brakes down the carbohydrates to sugar. This enzyme continue to act in stomach also for some time, till acid in the stomach makes the enzyme ineffective.
What are some examples of cofactors?
Cofactor or generally called co-enzymes which attaches with the enzymes and help in the reaction . For ex. succinyl-CoA, Acetyl-CoA.
Is ATP a co-enzyme?
Yes ATP is a co-enzyme.It is needed for some enzymes.
Are enzymes hydrophilic?
Enzymes, being proteins, are made of many amino acids of which some are hydrophobic. These hydrophobic amino acids tend to shun water and fold into the interior of the protein enzyme. Enzymes are in solution so the hydrophobic sections would be away from the solution on the inside and the hydrophillic amino acids would tend to be on the outside of the enzyme. So, is a limited sense, you could say enzymes are hydrophyllic

What is an enzyme marker?
some enzymes present in certain organelles only , such specific enzymes are called marker enzymes
An element that speeds up chemical reactions is called an?
The answer is catalyst. The question bugs me a little, because not all catalysts are elements. Some are compounds.

Cofactor or generally called co-enzymes which attaches with the enzymes and help in the reaction . For ex. succinyl-CoA, Acetyl-CoA.
What are the names of some enzymes?
Hydrolases - Hydrolysis of a substrate - digestive enzyme isomerases - change of the molecular form of the substrate - famerase
What are some environmental enzyme factors?
Enzymes are catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. Some environmental factors that can affect enzyme activity are temperature and pH levels.
Molecule that binds to an enzyme?
a substrate =================================== or an "interacting molecule".
Are all enzymes protiens?
no because there are some that are enzymes, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and amino acids. That is the answer.
Is ATP a co-enzyme?
Yes ATP is a co-enzyme.It is needed for some enzymes.
What is the role of BSA in restriction enzyme activity?
BSA is used to stabilize some enzymes during digestion of DNA and to prevent adhesion of the enzyme to reaction tubes and other vessels. This protein does not affect other enzymes that do not need it for stabilization.
What determines an enzyme's function and how many unctions does one enzyme have?
The arrangement of it's active site. Some enzymes just provide a place where two reactants can be in a protected environment for the reaction, some enzymes stress bonds of reactant to lower the reaction activation energy and some enzymes have catalytic properties due to the arrangement of the various amino acid R groups in their active site. One enzyme, one substrate(s) and one function. So, many different classes of enzymes. Very much so
