dehydrogenases and oxidases
oxidoreductase
Anabolic - Term describing enzyme-catalyzed reactions in a cell that involves the synthesis of complex molecules out of simpler subunits and which uses energy.(From Sparknotes)
Enzymes act as a catalyst in biochemical reactions. Hence they are the key players of all the reactions that occurs in cells, such as metabolic conversions, synthesis and degradation of biomolecules and so on.
Almost all bio-chemical reactions taking place in the cells of the living organism are catalyzed by enzymes.For Example: The conversion of Glucose to Glucose-6-Phosphate (1st Reaction of Glycolysis) is catalyzed by the enzyme hexokinase or glucokinase.Glucose + ATP ---> Glucose-6-Phosphate + ADP
Proteins that catalyze reactions are generally called enzymes.
enzymes?
reactions in which enzymes are involved as catalysts.

Enzymes are beneficial to cells due to the functions that they perform. Most chemical reactions are catalyzed by enzymes in the cell.
The link is that a metabolism is made up of different reactions and these reactions have to be catalyzed by enzymes, because without these enzymes most of the reactions in the metabolism wouldn't proceed.
A substrate
Enzymes
Enzymes are organic catalysts. A catalyst is a chemical that controls the rate of a reaction, but is itself not used up in the process. Reactions that are accelerated due to the presence of enzymes are known as enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
Substrate
The reaction for breaking down Glucose is called: GlycolysisThese are biological reactions. They are catalyzed by enzymes. Kinases, dehydrogenases and isomerases are important enzymes in Glycolysis.

One reason is that catalyzed reactions, such as amylase breakdown of starch, are repeated over and over again and making enzymes fir every act of predigestion in the mouth would be very expensive in bodily resources.
