They're catalysts like enzimes, but they're not actually enzymes, which are proteic.

What is nature of ribozymes?
Ribozymes are RNA catalyzing enzymes.
Are enzymes carbohydrate based?
Enzymes are nearly universally proteins. There are exceptions, however, such as ribozymes, which are enzymatically active RNA molecules.
What category of carbon do enzymes fall under?
Enzymes are proteins.Note: RNA can also produce enzymatic reactions, but they are called ribozymes.
Are many enzymes proteins?
Yes most of the enzymes are proteins. There are a few RNA enzymes known as ribozymes exist. Proteins are all coded in DNA in the nucleus.
What category of carbon compounds do enzymes fall under?
Enzymes are proteins.Note: RNA can also produce enzymatic reactions, but they are called ribozymes.
What category of macromolecules are enzymes classified as?
Most enzymes are classified as proteins. However, there are some enzymes that are not classified as proteins such as ribozymes (nucleic acids) and vitamins (coenzymes).
What are molecules that catalyze chemical reactions?
Enzymes
Why do we need Ribozymes?
Ribozymes are RNA molecules that can act as enzymes; that is, catalyze covalent changes in the structure of substrates (most of which are also RNA molecules). Simple answer without Ribozymes we have no information or tools to allow us create blueprints for DNA or any structure of life.
What are the substances that keep enzymes from working?
inhibitors
What is the difference between ribozyme and enzyme?
Ribozymes are composed of nucleotides, whereas enzymes are composed of amino acids.
Why do you say that all enzymes are not proteins?
Enzymes are proteins which act as catalysts for various reactions that occur in cells. (A catalyst speeds up a reaction without being permanently altered itself). Some proteins function in other ways like transporting substances across the cell membrane or providing structure. Therefore, all enzymes are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes. Uhm Ribozymes are enzymes that are not protein
Are Enzymes are composed mostly of protein?
Yes. Enzymes are proteins. They are composed entirely of amino acids
