Why do living things use enzymes instead of heat as a source of activation energy

Adding sufficient heat would harm or kill a living thing. also enzymes are far more efficient. A single enzyme can often carry out thousands of reactions per second. Living organisms use enzymes for activation energy because they speed up chemical reactions.
