Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of macromolecule are enzymes?
A
Protein
B
Carbohydrate
C
Lipid
D
Nucleic Acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The listing of enzyme proPerties carried out until now suffices, however, to make the point that enzymes must be macromolecules because they must, embody several functions, each of which requires in general a rather large number of amino acid residues.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Figure 11.4 Peptides and Proteins are macromolecules built from long chains of amino acids joined together through amide linkages. The identity and function of a peptide or a protein is determined by the primary sequence of amino acids within its structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
