From what you have learnt, can you tell whether enzymes are bigger or DNA is bigger in molecular size? How did you know?

उत्तर
Both DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and enzymes are macromolecules. DNA is a polymer of deoxyribonucleotides, and enzymes are proteins; hence, these are polymers of amino acids. But DNA is larger in molecular size than proteins because protein synthesis is regulated by small segments of DNA, called genes, and a single DNA molecule can encode many proteins.
