Enzymes are biologic catalysts. Without enzymes ability to be reused instaed of destroyed and lower the energy of activation (EA) required for cellular functions, it would take years to break down and digest food.
Enzymes are complex protein molecules produced by the body. They are important to living things because they act as catalysts for organic biochemical processes.
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells. Temperature, pH, and regulatory molecules can affect the activity of enzymes.
By lowering the activation energy of chemical reactions that might have taken place anyway, but too slowly to be part of a living organisms metabolism.
Enzymes are needed to lower the activation energy so that the reaction can occur at temperatures at which living things can survive.
The proteins known as enzymes are vital to living things because they speed up chemical reactions up to a trillion times.
The activation energy, once put in force, will be affected by the density, static, and kinectic energy of an object, but will still have a direct impact on the energy of reaction that is yielded from the initial force.
Enzymes are proteins. They are very important because they catalyse metabolic processes in the body that would not be able to occur without them. Their function is dependant upon their shape. If an enzyme is not the correct shape for the molecules it need to bind to then it will not be able to catalyse the process it is involved in. The shapes (quaternery structure) of enzymes are the result of attractive forces between funtional groups within the protein. These attrative forces are quite weak, and high temperatures within the body will break them and the enzymes will lose their shape (they are de-natured). Once the structure is lost it cannot be reformed again, so the process regulated by any enzyme that has denatured no longer function properly.
The function of glue is to stick things together.
The function of enzymes in living things is to catalyze (instigate, speed up) chemical reactions.

lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants, animals and Biodiversity affects ecosystem function, as do the processes of disturbance.
the biotic and abiotic factors affects living things in a given biome? and the living things a non living things that factors the life is an example of living things...

No. Enzymes are biological and thus are related to living things; metals are not biological.
Enzymes act as catalysts in living things.
Living things use enzymes instead of a heat source of activation energy because they speed up chemical reactions as well as the metabolism in those living things.
