Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts. Enzymes are the catalysts involved in biological chemical reactions. A fundamental task of proteins is to act as enzymes—catalysts that increase the rate of virtually all the chemical reactions within cells. A catalyst remains chemically unchanged itself at the end of a reaction. Each enzyme has a temperature that it works optimally in, which in humans is around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, 37 degrees Celsius – the normal body temperature for humans.
