Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An enzyme is a type of
A
protein
B
carb
C
lipid
D
amino acid
Explanation: 

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most common type of globular protein that is capable of binding a small molecule is an enzyme. Enzymes: Are Globular Proteins. Are catalytically active proteins which convert substrate to product.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes are proteins, and they make a biochemical reaction more likely to proceed by lowering the activation energy of the reaction, thereby making these reactions proceed thousands or even millions of times faster than they would without a catalyst. Enzymes are highly specific to their substrates.

Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes are proteins made up of amino acids that helps in lowering the activation energy of the reaction. 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.
