Question

Enzymes are basically formed by?

• A. Proteins.
• B. Carbohydrates.
• C. Lipids.
• D. Nucleic acids.

Hint:

Remember, enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts, lowering the activation energy required for reactions. They are specific to substrates and can be regulated.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are primarily composed of proteins. Some enzymes also require non-protein molecules called cofactors or coenzymes to function. However, the core structure of the enzyme itself is made up of proteins, which are composed of amino acids. - Carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids serve other important roles in the cell but do not typically function as enzymes. Thus, the correct answer is option (A) Proteins.
