Yes - without enzymes molecules can still bind together - but the process will usually take much longer.
Enzymes are catalysts - which means that they lower the activation energy for reactions. This means that reactions occur more quickly. However, enzymes cannot make reactions occur which would not (eventually) occur without the enzyme present.

because we may not produce enzymes able to metabolize these molecules
Enzymes do not heat up molecules so they can react. Enzymes are catalysts that lower the activation energy of a reaction but are not consumed in the process.
Enzymes aid in the break down the large molecules of food products into small ones that are able to be digested (absorbed) by the intestines.
definitly with the help of enzymes is not replication wouldn't be able to occur.
To put it simply, a person would not survive. The enzymes allow chemical reactions to occur. Without enzymes, the body would not be able to gain nutrients, flush out toxins, or exhale carbon dioxide.
Enzymes are chemicals in saliva, or spit, that break down your food so that you can digest it. Without enzymes, you wouldn't be able to digest your food. Enzymes are known as biological catalysts as they lower the energy barrier and so speed up the reaction without being used up in that reaction. Enzymes are made up of proteins and the effectiveness of their actions is changed by changing temperature or pH or by chamicaly changin the molecule. Metabolic pathways are how the body makes many of the things it needs, they involve many breakdowns and rebuilds of substnaced and these changes are made possible because of the presence of enzymes.
Enzymes are biological catalysts that help speed up chemical reactions in your body. Without enzymes, our intestines would take forever to digest food, without enzymes our muscles and bones would not be able to move efficiently. Without enzymes we would die.
The ability to attract similar molecules that bond, whereas without the enzyme, the molecules would have to hit in a same position at the exact molecule needed for bonding. An enzyme is able to do this many times in a second, thus speeding up the reaction.
Enzymes are proteins. They are very important because they catalyse metabolic processes in the body that would not be able to occur without them. Their function is dependant upon their shape. If an enzyme is not the correct shape for the molecules it need to bind to then it will not be able to catalyse the process it is involved in. The shapes (quaternery structure) of enzymes are the result of attractive forces between funtional groups within the protein. These attrative forces are quite weak, and high temperatures within the body will break them and the enzymes will lose their shape (they are de-natured). Once the structure is lost it cannot be reformed again, so the process regulated by any enzyme that has denatured no longer function properly.
They occur more quickly than reactions without enzymes.They occur more quickly than reactions without enzymes.
