Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which macromolecule is an enzyme?
A
Carbohydrate
B
Lipid
C
Nucleic Acid
D
Protein
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: -Answer and Explanation: The type of macromolecule typically present in enzymes is protein. Proteins are macromolecules formed from smaller molecules called amino acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and proteins are often found as long polymers in nature. Because of their polymeric nature and their large (sometimes huge!) size, they are classified as macromolecules, big (macro-) molecules made through the joining of smaller subunits.
