This is a really good question. However, I only know one system that uses enzymes, and that happens to be the digestive system. In your mouth,where the digestive system takes place, enzymes work together and forms a soft liquid chemical(saliva) that makes the chewed food slide easily down your esophagus. There are also enzymes that are resonsible for digesting fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Without the enzymes, we would all have trouble digesting.
I hope this information will help!

What do enzymes do for the body?
Enzymes are globular proteins that function as biological catalysts in the body. They help to activate and speed up anabolic and catabolic reactions. For example, enzymes help to break down/digest the food you eat.
What does the body use to control reactions within cells?
The body uses enzymes to control reactions within cells.
Chemical reactions in the body can be speeded up by adding what?
enzymes
What determines the effectiveness of enzymes?
The temperature in which the enzymes are effects the effectiveness of enzymes. Enzymes work best at a temperature of 37 which is the body temperature.
What Organic molecules that catalyze reactions in living systems are?
Enzymes are organic molecules that catalyze reactions in living systems.
What enzymes are present in human bodies?
There is a huge amount of enzyme types in the human body. We have digestive enzymes such as pepsinogen, cardiac enzymes such as Trop-I, liver enzymes such as GGT. If you are curious of enzymes in the human body I suggest you look at specific systems or organs. An example would be to ask the internets about "pancreatic enzymes".
What is the job of the pancreas inside your body?
The pancreas is part of the endocrine and digestive systems, secreting a number of enzymes.
What break downs food into energy that the body can use?
enzymes
Do enzymes break down proteins?
So that the body can use them.
What breaks food down into energy that the body can then use?
enzymes
What does the body use to control within cells?
The body uses enzymes to control reactions within cells.
Carbonhydrates are acted on by?
Carbohydrates are acted on by enzymes in the body to convert them to sugar so the body can use them as fuel.
Does vitamins help your body use carbohydrates?
Yes. They are called co-enzymes.
Where are enzymes contained in the human body?
Enzymes are present throughout the body.
What is the importance of enzymes to biological systems?
Enzymes decrease the amount of activation energy required for chemical reactions to occur.
Which type of proteins activate some chemicals reactions in the body?
enzymes :)
What are enzymes and how do they affect the reaction of things?
enzymes as described by my bio teacher do "chores" in the body, when something needs to be done, our body uses enzymes. you can recognize enzymes by looking for the suffix (ase) at the end of a word. An example of an enzyme and its use is Helicase, which unwinds DNA strands at the beginning of transcription.
