  • Cell Enzymes: Composition, Structure, and Function
    Cell enzymes are made of proteins.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Proteins are complex molecules made up of chains of amino acids.

    * Enzymes are a special type of protein that act as biological catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions within cells.

    While most enzymes are proteins, there are a few exceptions, called ribozymes, which are made of RNA (ribonucleic acid). However, these are much less common than protein-based enzymes.

    So, the fundamental building blocks of cell enzymes are amino acids, which are linked together to form proteins, giving the enzymes their specific structure and function.
