Enzymes are any of several complex proteins that are produced by cells and act as catalysts in specific biochemical reactions. They help break down foods you eat and play a role in major chemical reactions. For example, without enzymes we could not break down milk because it contains lactose. People that don't have the enzyme lactase are lactose intolerant. This shows how enzymes are so important to living things.
