Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Enzymes belong to the macromolecule group ____
A
Carbohydrates
B
Lipids
C
Proteins
D
Nucleic Acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Among the organic macromolecules, enzymes belong in the category of proteins. Proteins are distinct from carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids in that a protein is made of amino acids. Amino acids link together into a chain that can fold into a three-dimensional shape.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -All the enzymes belong to the category of proteins. Proteins are distinct from carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids and in that, a protein is made of amino acids. these link together to form a three-dimensional type structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -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). The other type of proteins (fibrous proteins) have long thin structures and are found in tissues like muscle and hair.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
