Enzymes need water for two reasons. One, they are like a miniature body. They need water to live. Water is basically one of their energy sources. Two, enzymes help break down food that you eat. What better to do that than water? You chew it up into small pieces, water breaks it down even further, and then your stomach acid turns what it needs into energy and other stuff, and what it doesn't need into waste.

What do plants need in their environment to carry out photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide, water and sunlight. And enzymes like chlorophyll to catalyze the reaction. CO2 (carbon dioxide), 6 H2O (water), enzymes, and sunlight. This is converted to C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2.
What isn't essential for photosynthesis?
you need sunlight water and respiration for a plant to photosynthesise.
What is the space in a cell that stores food water enzymes or waste?
vacuole
Why do seeds need enzymes to convert starch for germination?
digestive track
Which is not a way ATP powers cellular work?
Passive transport of ions and water through the cell membrane by a channel protein. Also, enzymes do not need ATP to preform their cellular work.
What does the plant need as a result of photosynthesis?
sunlight, chlorophyll, water and some enzymes

What does chloroplast need to do their job?
Water and CO2 are the raw materials. Chlorophylls are pigments capturing sin light.Also need correct enzymes
Does DNA need enzymes to replicate?
Yes,they need enzymes for replication.Helicase,ligase are some.
Why do you need enzymes in the small intestines?
Enzymes are Catalysts and speeds up a reaction. So you would need enzymes in ur intestins to speed up digestion
What isn't essential for photosynthesis?

What is aerobic enzymes?
An enzyme that needs oxygen to survive
What plants need for photosynthesis?
Every type of green plant uses photosynthesis.
What activates the enzymes in the cotyledon?
Water Activates it
What is a mixture of mucus water and enzymes?
Saliva
How would digestive enzyme help to clean cloths with proteins and fats on them?
Washing powder contain enzymes which break down fats and protein into simpler molecules
Why does decomposition occur fastest in warm and moist environments?
The enzymes in microbes function more quickly at higher temperatures...Microbes need water to grow so some water is essential
