Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Enzymes are proteins that help speed up metabolism, or the chemical reactions in our bodies. They build some substances and break others down.
Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘Apoenzyme’
Detailed explanation-5: -Protease (made in the pancreas; breaks down proteins)
