Question

Fats are specialized lipid molecules, and enzymes are specialized protein molecules. How do they differ?

Answer 1

I'd say their job of course...

Explanation:

Fats are biological molecules or nutrients that are essential in small amounts in our diet to give us a lot of energy. They are always viewed as being the "bad" nutrient.

Enzymes on the other hand cannot be consumed. They are biological catalysts that break down other molecules, such as fats and proteins into their smaller counterparts. Each enzymes can only bind to its specific substrate to break it down. Lipase breaks down lipids (fats) into glycerol and fatty acids, while pepsin breaks down proteins into simple amino acids.

In conclusion, both molecules are essential to the human body to function properly, but they have drastically different jobs...
