In terms of biological molecules, enzymes are proteins. There is another method of classifying enzymes. This classification is based on function. There are 6 catagories: 1. Oxidoreductases 2. Transferases 3. Hexokinases4. Liases 5. Isomerases 6. Ligases

Enzymes are examples of which of these molecule groups?
Enzymes can be classified as either simple enzymes or complex enzymes. 1) Simple enzymes are predominantly made up of proteins. 2) Complex enzymes are enzymes that require cofactors like iron or zinc ions to function properly.
What is the function of cofactors and co-enzymes?
co-enzymes are organic molecules that are required by certain enzymes to carry out catalysis while co-factors are often classified as inorganic substances that are required for, or increase the rate of, catalysis.
Enzymes are classified as hormones functional proteins or structural proteins?
Enzymes can be classified by the kind of chemical reaction they catalyze. One such scheme of enzyme classification is defined by IUBMB.The IUBMB assigns a 4-digit code to each enzyme. Each enzyme is prefixed by EC, followed by the digits.For example: oxidoreductases EC 1.1.1.11. The first digit denotes "Class" of the enzyme2. The second digit indicates, "Sub-class" of the enzyme3. The third digit gives "Sub sub-class" of the enzyme4. The fourth digit in the code is "Serial number" of the enzyme
The pancreas is an organ connected to the digestive tract of humans by a duct through which digestive enzymes flow?
The pancreas is part of the digestive system and is classified as an accessory organ of digestion
Denatured enzymes are the same as?
Denatured enzymes are the same as enzymes that can no longer function.
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).
Are enzymes classified as structural proteins or functional proteins?
Enzymes are proteins, each with a uniquely specific Biochemical Function.
What are enzymes A sugars B fats C acids D proteins?
Organic molecules are enzymes which can be classified as proteins.
What macro-molecule does an enzyme fall under?
Enzymes are classified as proteins.
Enzymes classified as what covert chemical bond energy to light energy?
One class of enzymes that perform these tasks are called Luciferins.

Why cell membranes considered sei-permeable?
They're classified as semi permeable because it only allows certain enzymes and nutrients, etc, to get through.

co-enzymes are organic molecules that are required by certain enzymes to carry out catalysis while co-factors are often classified as inorganic substances that are required for, or increase the rate of, catalysis.

Why are fungi classified with plants.?
Fungi are not classified as plants because Fungi are heterotrophs, meaning that unlike plants which are autotrophs, they feed on other life forms.Actually Fungi is saprotrophic which means it secretes enzymes and then absorbs other organisms.Because they are not plants.Fungi don't photosynthesis, they don't have flowers, they don't produce seeds etc

What is the scientific name of enzymes?
Enzymes belong to a class of proteins called "biocatalysts" and do not have a single scientific name. They are named based on the substrate they act upon and end with the suffix "-ase." For example, the enzyme that breaks down proteins is called protease.
