Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
All enzymes are
A
Lipids
B
Proteins
C
Phospholipids
D
Carbohydrates
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Only few proteins have the capability to bind the substrate with the help of their active sites in such a manner that allows the reaction to take place in an efficient manner. Hence, all enzymes are proteins but all proteins are not enzymes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes are proteins comprised of amino acids linked together in one or more polypeptide chains. This sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain is called the primary structure. This, in turn, determines the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme, including the shape of the active site.

Detailed explanation-3: -With the exception of ribozymes, all enzymes are protein-based.

Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes are proteins that help speed up metabolism, or the chemical reactions in our bodies. They build some substances and break others down. All living things have enzymes. Our bodies naturally produce enzymes.
