What type of organic compounds are enzymes?

Enzymes are proteins, which are organic compounds composed of amino acids. These proteins catalyze biochemical reactions in living organisms by lowering the activation energy required for the reactions to occur.


Are enzymes an organic?

In general organic contains carbon molecules and/or those related to life. It is the chemistry of carbon containing compounds. Inorganic is everything else and generally do not contain carbon (with some exceptions). However, enzymes are generally organic


What groups of organic molecules do enzymes belong to?

Enzymes belong to the group of organic molecules known as proteins. They are made up of long chains of amino acids that form complex three-dimensional structures. These structures allow enzymes to catalyze specific chemical reactions within living organisms.


Diffrenciat between holozoic and saprophyte?

Holozoic nutrition is also a form of heterotrophic nutrition which requires dependence. The ingested nutrients get synthesized by several intermediate processes that take place in the consuming living beings. The main point to be taken as a difference is that, holozoic consumers feed on dead but not decomposing matter which is organic. Where as, Saprophytes such as, vultures, feed on decaying and decomposing organic matter. They are also called 'detritivores.'.....Solydide<3


What class of organic molecules includes biological catalysts?

organic catalysts made of protein are called enzymes (these are usually made by living things)nonprotein based organic catalysts are simply called organic catalysts (these are usually synthesized artificially)

Is pepsinogen organic or inorganic?

Pepsinogen is an inactive form of the digestive enzyme pepsin. Almost all enzymes are proteins, and proteins are organic macromolecules.


What type of organic molecule make up enzymes?

Proteins are the most common type of organic molecule that make up enzymes. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. Other organic molecules, such as RNA, can also act as enzymes in some cases.

What do hyphae release digestive enzymes to break down food?

All fungi make their living by absorbing food directly from their surrounding.Extracellular digestion - synthesize digestive enzymes and then secrete them outside into their food. After digestion, the fungi then absorbs the nutrients.Releases exoenzymes to digest organisms.Lignin degradation - uses enzyme called lignin peroxidaseto break down lignin in order to get to the cellulose, which is their food.Cellulose digestion - uses an enzyme called cellulases to digest cellulose


Why lysosomes are the suicidal bags of the cell?

Lysosomes are bags containing hydrolytic enzymes. These enzymes can break the living cell. Hence, lysosmes are called the Suicidal Bag of cells.

Enzymes are organic?

Yes. Nearly all enzymes are proteins, and proteins are organic compounds.


What are suicide sacs also known as?

Lysosome contain digestive enzymes for almost all type of organic material. If their covering membrane breaks as it happens during injury to cell, the digestive enzymes will spill over cell content and digest the same. As lysosomes are organelles which on bursting can kill cells possessing them ,they are called suicide bags
