BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Among the organic macromolecules, enzymes belong in the category of proteins. Proteins are distinct from carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids in that a protein is made of amino acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes are protein macromolecules. Proteins are large biopolymer molecules that are made up of repeating monomer units called amino acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes are mainly globular proteins-protein molecules where the tertiary structure has given the molecule a generally rounded, ball shape (although perhaps a very squashed ball in some cases).

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
