there are no distinctions between chemicals and non-chemicals in the sense that all matter in universe are made up of atoms from the Periodic Table, but to answer your question in a less technical way an enzyme is better classified as a protein.
please note also that chemicals as environmentalists and organic food promoters define it does not exist and everything is made of chemicals
so phrases like "that apple has chemicals in it" is inane because the apple is made of chemicals. this doesn't make any sense.

How does an inhibitor affect the rate of chemical reaction?
Enzymes fasten chemical reactions, inhibitors blocks the enzymes and they will not accelerate the reaction.
As temperature decreases the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction also decreases why?
Just like many other chemical reactions, the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction will decrease with temperature because of the decrease in the number of high energy collisions between particles.
Why is a catalyst written above the arrow in a chemical equation rather than with the reactants?
The enzyme is written above the arrow of the chemical equation because it is involved in the reaction without being changed by it or used up in the reaction. It is not a reactant or a product.
What is the function of sulphuric acid in the experiment of enzyme activity?
H2SO4 is used to denature the enzyme and stop the reaction instantly. by adding H2SO4,it will prevent further reaction of the enzyme onto the substrate and the rate of enzyme reaction can be measured in the specific time
A chemical reaction in a living cell occurs in the presence of a specific protein molecule The concentration of this protein molecule remains the same before and after the reaction This protein mole?
its an enzyme enzymes are a type of protein
What is chemical reaction in an enzyme?
to speed up a chemical reaction
What chemical reaction is an enzyme?
The enzyme is a biochemical catalyst.
What happens to an enzyme after a biochemical reaction?
The enzyme is liberated free to repeat the action again. That is the beauty of enzymes.
What is the chemical that helps a chemical reaction without being consumed during a reaction?
ENzyme
What is an enzyme(what does it do for a chemical reaction)?
the purpose is to accelerate the process of the reaction...
What is the role of enzyme in cells?
enzyme sped up the chemical reaction
How does a enzyme increase the speed of a reaction?
The enzyme reduces the activation energy of the reaction, therefore chemical reaction speeds are increased.
What a protein that can catalyze a chemical reaction?
enzyme
What is a protein that catalyze a chemical reaction?
enzyme
A protein that can catalyze a chemical reaction?
enzyme
Chemicals that speed up chemical reaction?
Enzyme or catalyst
What do you say if one enzyme controls one chemical reaction?
Enzyme is specific
