Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms without being consumed in the process.
Recall the four major types of biological macromolecules: lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Recognize that triglycerides are a type of lipid primarily used for energy storage, not catalysis.
Know that nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) store and transmit genetic information, but do not function as enzymes in most biological systems.
Identify that proteins, composed of amino acid chains, have diverse structures and functions, including acting as enzymes to catalyze biochemical reactions.
