Why are enzymes required for cellular metabolic pathways? The enzymes that are present in a cell determine which metabolic reactions can occur in the cell. Enzymes are consumed by metabolic pathways when reactants are converted to products. An enzyme lowers the activation energy and therefore increases the rate of a reaction. A single enzyme can convert one substrate into many different products. A cell can regulate metabolic pathways by controlling the enzyme concentration in the cell.
