Enzymes are known as biological catalyst and as we know catalyst are those types of substances which speed up the reaction without themselves getting chemically involved in it.Enzymes speed up the reaction by lowering the potential energy or the energy of activation which is present inside all the reactions so that the reactions occur.Energy of activation is basically a barrier for the reactants to overcome in order for them to form sufficient products provided with enough energy.Enzymes are found every where ranging from the industries to even human body.They give a immense affect to our lives because they speed of reactions which would probably have taken 1000 of years to occur but as soon as enzyme is used the reactions completes in about 10 minutes.Example of this would be the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
