No, enzymes are organic catalysts (they speed up chemical reactions). Enzymes are generally proteins (some are RNAs), typically decorated with sugars.

The polymers of food are broken down into their constituent monomers by reactions in the digestive tract?
Energy, by cellular respiration. Polymers of glucose, for instance, come into the body via your food and enzymes break them into monomers so they can be easily used in the cellular respiration process.
Do amino acids build oxygen?
no; amino acids build protein and oxygen is not a protein. oxygen is not built, but rather inhaled from the environment and then used in cellular respiration
What is the term for the building block of polymers?
Monomers
What monomers make up glycogen?
Glycogen is made up of glucose monomers. These monomers are combine in alpha-1,4 linkages with alpha 1,6 linkages used to create branches. Glycogen also has a small protein component that is used to initiate the glycogen polymer called glyocgenin.
What laundry detergent has enzymes?
cellulase and protienase enzymes are mostly used....
Which nutrient class is used to build body tissues and make enzymes?
protein
What are the minerals needed by the enzymes used in photosynthesis and respiration?
protein is essential since all enzymes are protein
What are the two functions of proteins?
Protein helps build and maintain body tissues like muscles Enzymes and hormones and other compounds in the body are made of protein Protein is used to make hair, skin and nails
What is made of enzymes?
enzymes are made up of protein; enzymes are used to speed up chemical reactions.
What are enzymes used for?
it is a protein to speed up a reation. it is like a catalyst.
How are enzyme usually named?
Individual enzymes are named by adding the suffix "-ase" to the name of the substrate with which the enzyme reacts. An example of this method is the enzyme amylase, which controls the breakdown of amylose (starch). There are categories of enzymes that control certain reactions. Hydrolases control hydrolytic reactions; proteinases control protein breakdown; synthetases control synthesis reactions. There are exceptions: trypsin and pepsin, both digestive enzymes that breakdown protein, retain the names used before the modern form of nomenclature was adopted.Read more: how-are-enzymes-named
What process is used to build a protein?
translation
Are monomers made up of many polymer units?
No. Amino acid monomers are used to make protein polymers. Nucleotide monomers are used to make DNA polymers.
Essential nutrient used to build and repair body cells and cells?
I am pretty sure that it is protein. Protein help build and repair muscle and tissue.
Most enzymes are made of?
Enzyme are proteins, and, thus, have the same building blocks. They are made up of amino acids.
Which is a protein that speeds up reactions in a cell without being used up?
enzymes
Which is protein that speeds up reactions in a cell without being used up?
enzymes
