“Since you have asked multiple questions, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved, please specify the question number or post only that question.” A biomolecule, often known as a biological molecule, is any of a variety of compounds created by cells and living organisms. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they conduct a wide range of tasks. Carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins are the four primary categories of biomolecules. Enzymes are biological molecules that dramatically accelerate the pace of almost all chemical processes that occur within cells. Some enzymes aid in the breakdown of big molecules into smaller fragments that are more readily absorbed by the body. Other enzymes aid in the bonding of two molecules to form a new molecule. Enzymes are extremely selective catalysts, which means that each enzyme accelerates only one specific reaction. They are necessary for life and perform a variety of crucial tasks in the body, including digestion and metabolism. Hence, option (2) is correct.Option (1) is incorrect because a broken amino acid cannot catalyze a reaction. Option (3) is incorrect because isomers are compounds that have the same number of atoms. Option (4) is incorrect because the passable genetic information is carried by DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid). Option (5) is incorrect because the random combination of amino acids does not result in an enzyme.
