Digestive enzymes speedup reactions that break down large molecules of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into smaller molecules the body can use. Without digestive enzymes, animals would not be able to break down food molecules quickly enough to provide the energy and nutrients they need to survive.

Answer:

enzymes are biocatalysts made up of proteins which increases the rate of bio chemical reaction by lowering down the activation energy
