enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts speeding up reactions, and reduce activation energy. Without enzymes the reactions in the body would be so slow that we would cease to live, and without enzymes cell reactions would require too much energy that our body is not able to provide. (:

Are cells and enzymes the same thing?

No, cells and enzymes are not the same thing. Cells are the basic unit of life and are made up of various organelles, while enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts to speed up chemical reactions within cells. Enzymes are a component of cells but are not the same as cells themselves.

What do enzymes do in the cell?

Enzymes are protein molecules that catalyze biochemical reactions in the cell. They speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, allowing processes to happen more efficiently. Enzymes are specific in their actions and can be regulated to control the cell's chemical reactions.
