In general, enzymes are what kinds of molecules?
1) Nucleic acids
2) Carbohydrates
3) Lipid molecules
4) Proteins
Answer: (4) Proteins
Explanation: Enzymes are bio-active protein molecules found in the cells of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Interestingly, enzymes are specific to a particular substrate. They contribute to specialized functions in all living organisms for converting the substrate to a specific product through an enzymatic reaction.
Enzymes are two types, simple and complex enzymes. Simple enzymes are only proteins, while complex enzymes are made up of protein and cofactors.
