Correct answer: A. Help in regulating metabolism

  • A. Help in regulating metabolism
  • B. Are exclusively synthesized in the body of living organism as at present
  • C. Are conjugated proteins
  • D. Enhance oxidative metabolism.

Explanation

Enzymes control all the life processes. They increase the rate of a biological reaction. The magnitude of increase may be greater than those affected by other catalysts.Vitamins are accessory indispensable food factor, organic in nature (organic acid, amino acid esters, alcohols, steroids, etc.) required by an organism in small amounts to maintain normal growth and regulate the metabolic processes. Hormones are a biologically active organic substance that is produced in minute quantities by some specialized organs and exert physiological effects at sites remote from their origin.

About Biological Molecules

The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
