Enzymes called amylase are found in your salivia, made in your salivia glands. The amylase helps to break down carbohydrates in your mouthbefore it goes down to the stomach. When the carbohydrates get to the stomach, more amylase needs to be added. This is because the acid in the stomach is extremely strong (pH 1) and dissolves the amylase. Another organ, called the pancreas, adds more of the amylase to the stomach, in order to digest the remaining carbohydrates. They are also many other enzymes in your body.
Good luck with biochem :)

Enzymes, as mentioned above, are biological catalysts. While they hasten or speed up a process, they are actually providing an alternative pathway for the process. But, in the process, the structure or composition of the enzymes remain unaltered. Enzymes are actually made up of 1000s of amino acids that are linked in a specific way to form different enzymes.

What are antibodies and hormones and enzymes made of?
They are all proteins (made up of different amino acids).
What type of main molecule are enzymes?
Enzymes are specialized proteins. And proteins are made up from amino acids.
What Biomolecule is formed by peptide bonds?
Proteins
What group of molecules are enzymes?
Most enzymes are proteins. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell. Enzymes are known to catalyze about 4,000 biochemical reactions.
How do enzymes speed up biochemical reaction?
Enzymes speed up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction.
What type of biomolecule are enzymes?
Enzymes are proteins.
What organic biomolecule is DNA and RNA?
DNA and RNA contain are made up of the biomolecule nucleic acids.
What is protein and how is it made?
Protein is a biomolecule made up of functional units known as amino acids.
What is Alexine?
An alexine is a defensive proteid - a complex biomolecule made up of polypeptides.
What is made of enzymes?
enzymes are made up of protein; enzymes are used to speed up chemical reactions.
What type of macromolecules are enzymes made from?
They are made up of proteins. They are globular proteins
Why enzymes are made up of proteins?
Enzymes are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes.
Most enzymes are made of?
Enzyme are proteins, and, thus, have the same building blocks. They are made up of amino acids.
What are peroxisomes made of?
It is made up of a single membrane sac.Sac is filled with enzymes.
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.
What made up of amino acids?
Proteins, including enzymes, and polypeptides are made up of amino acids.
