    Question: Enzymes are made up of _______.

    Options:

    Carbohydrates
    Nucleic acids
    Amino acids
    Fat

    -Enzymes are made up of Amino acids.

    🔑Key Points:
    -Enzymes are made of chains of amino acids chemically bonded to one another.
    -These bonds give the enzyme a unique structure, which determines its function. 
    -Enzymes help in processes like digestion, blood clotting, and hormone production. 
    -They either catalyze or speed up chemical reactions that take place in the bodies of living things.

    ✏️Types of enzymes in the human body:
    -Lactase
    -Pectinase.
    -Bromelain
    -Papain
    -Catalase

    🔴Additional Information:
    -Carbohydrates are organic compounds in which the ratio of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen is 1: 2: 1.
    -​Carbohydrate works as fuel during the process of respiration, glucose break into CO2 and H2O with the release of energy.
    -One gram of glucose gives 4.2 kilocalories energy.
    -Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleosides and nucleotides and contain pentose sugar.
    -Fat is an ester of glycerol and fatty acid.
    -Normally fat remains as solid at 20°C temperature, but if it is in liquid form at this temperature, this is called oil.
    -9.3 kilocalorie energy is liberated from 1 gram fat.
