One type of catalyst. One type of protein. One type of biomolecule. There are many answers.
Catalyst
Enzymes are organic molecules that catalyze reactions in living systems.
The enzymes in the cell act as catalysts for chemical reactions. They lower the activation energy of these reactions in order to speed up the reaction rate.
The proteins known as enzymes are vital to living things because they speed up chemical reactions up to a trillion times.
Proteins are an essential part of living organisms. Their functions include controlling growth, serving as enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions in the body, and as transport and storage molecules.
Enzymes allow many chemical reactions to occur. They catalyze reactions by lowering the activation energy, which is the amount of energy needed to trigger a chemical reaction. Whereas heat can provide energy to trigger reactions, temperatures needed to reach activation energy for most metabolic reactions are often too high to allow cells to survive, so enzymes are in fact needed if metabolism (anabolic or catabolic) is to occur.

The function of enzymes in living things is to catalyze (instigate, speed up) chemical reactions.

Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze (i.e., increase the rates of) chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell. Enzymes are known to catalyze about 4,000 biochemical reactions.
Enzymes are proteins that are able to catalyze (i.e accelerate) biochemical reactions. During the course of a reaction, the enzyme is able to convert a substrate to a product but the enzyme does not get consumed in the reaction.
You are thinking of enzymes a protein molecule that helps other organic molecules enter into chemical reactions with one another but is itself unaffected by these reactions. In other words, enzymes act as catalysts (speed up 1000x) organic biochemical reactions.
Enzymes are proteins found in living things that act to catalyze specific reactions. Made up of a complex of amino acids, enzymes are part of every chemical reaction in living things. They aid in digestion, the growth and building of cells, and all reactions involving the transformation of energy. Inside the cell, enzymes create RNA and DNA by facilitating the reaction of ribose with adenosine. They also specify the sites for linking to build RNA along a DNA template.
These are the chemical reactions occuring in living organisms.
yes because enzymes are highly weighted proteins which produced from living cells and used in industrial and biological processes
