To carry out biochemical reactions enzymes are needed as catalyst.
they help you break down food:)
ENZYMES! its in my text book.
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.
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.
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in a cell. without enzymes, many chemical reactions that are neccassarry for life would either take to long or not occur at all.

An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions.
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.
They lower the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed.

Enzymes speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells. They are usually named from the reaction that they catalyze.
Water is needed for nearly every chemical reaction in body cells.
enzymes are needed to control chemical reactions within cells because the enzymes acts like catalysts. They basically speed up the reactions within the body, and within the cells, so there fore they help the body maintain its internal environment (homeostasis).-Grade 12 Bio student(exact question came on a handout :P)
An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst in a living thingEnzymes are proteins which work as a biological catalyst, i.e. increases the rate of the chemical reaction.
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in a cell. without enzymes, many chemical reactions that are neccassarry for life would either take to long or not occur at all.
