Answer: Enzymes act as biological catalysts in the human body. They are made from amino acids, and most enzymes in the body are proteins. Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in cells/the body by providing a path with lower activation energy, which then increases the rate of the reaction. They are important to metabolism in the body, and to all living things.
