enzymes are actually composed of ___________?
Correct answer: B. Proteins
- A. Carbohydrates
- B. Proteins
- C. Nucleic Acid
- D. Fats
Explanation
Most enzymes are globular proteins whose specific three-dimensional shapes form active sites for binding substrates and catalysing reactions. A small number of catalytic RNA molecules, called ribozymes, are exceptions, but proteins are the expected general answer in basic biology. Students may choose nucleic acid because RNA can act as a catalyst, but ribozymes are exceptions rather than the usual enzyme composition.
