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.

Are all proteins enzymes Explain your answer?
No. All enzymes are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes. Muscle tissue is made of protein but it is not made of enzymes.
What type of macromolecule is an enzyme?
Enzymes are a form of a protein.
Do proteins serve as enzymes?
Some proteins do serve as enzymes, but certainly not all proteins.
Why enzymes are made up of proteins?
Enzymes are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes.
Are all proteins enzymes?
No, there are structural proteins, functional proteins [enzymes] and regulatory proteins. Are all enzymes proteins? Yes. Further, many proteins are closely associated with Rnas.
What type of macromolecules are enzymes made from?
They are made up of proteins. They are globular proteins
What special type of enzyme is made of protein?
All enzymes are proteins (but not all proteins are enzymes).
Who was the scientist that proved that not all enzymes are proteins?
That statement is false. All enzymes are proteins. However, the inverse is true, as not all proteins are enzymes.
What type of organic moleules are most enzymes?
They are type of proteins. They are globular proteins
Are enzymes all nucleic acids?
No, nucleic acids are not enzymes. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides where as enzymes are proteins, but all proteins are not enzymes.
Are enzymes derived proteins?
I would say, specially modified proteins.
What are protein enzymes?
All Enzymes are composed of, and from, Proteins.
