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: -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-2: -Macromolecules are basically polymers, long chains of molecular sub-units called monomers. Carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids are found as long polymers. Due to their polymeric nature and large size, they are known as macromolecules.

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: -Proteins are macromolecular polypeptides-i.e., very large molecules (macromolecules) composed of many peptide-bonded amino acids. Most of the common ones contain more than 100 amino acids linked to each other in a long peptide chain.
