Enzymes are important primarily because **they speed up chemical reactions**. Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate and accelerate the biochemical reactions necessary for life by lowering the activation energy required for those reactions to occur. This allows processes such as metabolism, DNA replication, and cellular signaling to happen at rates that support life.
While enzymes do not bring water into cells, help maintain cell shape, or contain genetic material, their role in catalyzing reactions is crucial for all cellular functions and biological processes.
