A living thing can live without enzymes but it would around 20 years to digest only 1 meal!
That is why all living things have enzymes of some sort to digest their food in a quicker way.
However, different types of enzymes speed up digestion lf different things. E.g. Amylase, which is an carbohydrate enzyme, would not be so quick to digest proteins or fats.

Are enzymes primary or secondary metabolites?
Primary metabolite because they are directly involved in normal growth, development, and reproduction. In other words, an organism would die without enzymes.
Do humans have any enzymes in bodies?
Yes. All life on this planet has enzymes. Enzymes are protein molecules that act to catalysts to perform the chemical work required by cells to function. They allow cells to grow, reproduce and use energy. Exactly WHICH enzymes are present in any given organism is dependent on the organism. Plants will have different enzymes than animals or fungi or bacteria, but ALL life has enzymes.
How big are enzymes?
enzymes are macromolecules, therefore they are larger than single or double bonded atoms. They are on the large end in an organism, but not as big as an organelle.
What region can photosynthetic organisms not live in?
In order to live, photosynthetic organisms cannot survive without sunlight and water. Therefore a photosynthetic organism cannot survive in any place without water, such as a desert, or without light and air, such as the moon.
What are enzymes called because they affect the speed of chemical reaction without being consumed?
enzymes are never consumed in a chemical reaction, therefore the answer to your question is that enzymes that affect the speed of a chemical reaction without being consumed are indeed called enzymes.
What would happen to an organism with defective enzymes?
They would not live vary long. enzymes break things down like nutrients in the body. Your saliva is an example of an enzyme. Without enzymes your body couldn't break down the things that it needs to in order for it to survive.
Why are DNA repair enzymes important to an organism's survival?
Because enzymes catalyze all chemical reactions in an organism. For example without enzymes, or with bad enzymes, cellular respiration cannot occur because the Krebs cycle and many other systems in cellular respiration are facilitated by enzymes.
Who has enzymes?
Every organism has enzymes
What could you predict about enzymes in organism that live in the Antarctic such as the antifreeze fish?
well, they will be cold. By MC
Why can you live without your gallbladder and what is its main function?
You can live without a gallbladder because the gallbladder is just a pouch for the enzymes that break down fats. Your liver actually makes these enzymes, and it will continue to make the enzymes after the gallbladder is removed.
Does the genotype regulate the enzymes present in an organism?
It is true that the genotype regulate the enzymes present in an organism. Every characteristic about an organism is influenced by its genotype.
What is the organism in detergents?
enzymes
Are enzymes primary or secondary metabolites?
Primary metabolite because they are directly involved in normal growth, development, and reproduction. In other words, an organism would die without enzymes.
Can an organism live its life without ever contacting another organism?
NO it cant survive without food even if you make carbohydrates you need wheat to make it and wheat's an organism (despite what your thinking you cant live off sweats)
Which micro organism lacks enzymes?
All micro and macro organisms have enzymes
What organism is used to produce enzymes?
bacteria
What is a protein that catalyze chemical reaction for organism?
Enzymes are proteins acting as catalysts for organism.
