Here's why:
* Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are the individual units that link together to form long chains, which then fold into complex structures.
* Enzymes are a specific type of protein. They are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms.
So, to put it simply:
* Amino acids are like the bricks that make up a house.
* Enzymes are like a specific type of house, built from those bricks, designed to do a specific job.
Therefore, enzymes are made up of amino acids, not the other way around.
