In what way do ribozymes differ from regular RNA molecules?
Ribozymes have catalytic activity
Why are ribozymes considered significant in biological processes?
They have catalytic activity for bond cleavage and synthesis
How are enzymes synthesized?
By Ribosomes Attached to Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
What is the role of ribosomes in enzyme synthesis?
They attach to the rough endoplasmic reticulum to synthesize enzymes
How does enzyme structure contribute to their function?
Enzymes have a specific quaternary structure that is crucial for their function
Where does the synthesis of enzymes primarily take place?
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
What would happen if ribosomes were detached from the rough endoplasmic reticulum during enzyme synthesis?
Enzyme synthesis would stop
What macromolecule carries the information for the synthesis of enzymes?

Which component of a cell is responsible for the synthesis of enzymes?
Ribosomes
What is the primary role of enzymes in biological systems?
Catalyzing reactions
What is the consequence of a mutation that affects the DNA sequence encoding an enzyme?
The enzyme loses its catalytic activity
