Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What kind of macromolecule are enzymes?
A
proteins
B
nucleic acids
C
lipids
D
carbohydrates
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. This, in turn, determines the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme, including the shape of the active site.

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Within all lifeforms on Earth, from the tiniest bacterium to the giant sperm whale, there are four major classes of organic macromolecules that are always found and are essential to life. These are the carbohydrates, lipids (or fats), proteins, and nucleic acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -The listing of enzyme proPerties carried out until now suffices, however, to make the point that enzymes must be macromolecules because they must, embody several functions, each of which requires in general a rather large number of amino acid residues.
