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

We need more information as to which enzymes you are asking about.


Does anaerobic need enzymes?

Yes, anaerobic processes need enzymes to catalyze the various chemical reactions that occur without the presence of oxygen. Enzymes are essential for facilitating the breakdown of substrates and energy production in anaerobic organisms.

How many copies of one enzyme are in a cell?

Enzymes can have varying concentrations inside a cell. If the need for an enzyme is small then few enzymes will be in the cell however if there a signal to the cell that would cause a drastic need for more enzymes then the production and thus the concentration would increase.


Why do animal cels need a lysosome?

They're chambers which contain digestive enzymes, mostly important because their membrane is not digested by those enzymes. If the lysosome were to rupture, those enzymes would digest parts of the cell that need to stay intact. They take those enzymes to particles the cell has "eaten" to digest it and they also digest parts of the cell to recycle.


If all enzymes are proteins but all proteins are not enzymes then what makes enzymes different fr?

Enzymes are proteins, but as you can imagine, different parts of the body need different types of enzymes to work efficiently. Can you imagine the enzymes which break down food in the process of digestion being replaced by the enzymes which assist respiration or photosynthesis? It wouldn't work. Each type of enzyme controls different chemical processes.
