Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The various enzymes in our bodies are
A
lipids
B
carbohydrates
C
nucleotides
D
proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The majority of enzymes are proteins made up of amino acids, the basic building blocks within the body. There are exceptions with some kinds of RNA molecules called ribozymes. [5] Amino acid molecules are connected through linkages known as peptide bonds that form proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -An enzyme is a type of protein found within a cell. Enzymes create chemical reactions in the body, and can actually speed up the rate of a chemical reaction to help support life. Enzymes are produced naturally in the body and help with important tasks, including: building muscle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes are made of chains of proteins called amino acids. Some of them are naturally occurring in the human body and others we need to consume through food.

Detailed explanation-5: -The macromolecular components of all enzymes consist of protein, except in ribozymes, which have ribonucleic acid. Recent studies estimate that the human body produces approximately 1300 different enzymes.
