Enzymes and hormones are both examples of:
A
proteins
B
lipids
C
nucleic acids
D
carbohydrates
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Two special and common types of proteins are enzymes and hormones. Enzymes, which are produced by living cells, are catalysts in biochemical reactions (like digestion) and are usually complex or conjugated proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions, which otherwise would not take place. These enzymes are essential for chemical processes like digestion and cellular metabolism.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes are biological catalysts, and hormones are chemical messengers.
