Enzymes are which macro-molecule?
A
protein
B
carbohydrate
C
lipid
D
nucleic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Enzymes are protein macromolecules. Proteins are large biopolymer molecules that are made up of repeating monomer units called amino acids. There are 20 different common amino acids that make up proteins like enzymes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins are macromolecular polypeptides-i.e., very large molecules (macromolecules) composed of many peptide-bonded amino acids. Most of the common ones contain more than 100 amino acids linked to each other in a long peptide chain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes are biological catalysts composed of amino acids; that is, they are proteins.

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.
