Proteins: Proteins: Large molecules composed of one or more chains of amino acids in a specific order determined by the base sequence of nucleotides in the DNA coding for the protein.
Enzymes: enzymes help break down larger molecules of starch, fat, and protein during digestion.
Nucleic acids: Nucleic acids in the form of DNA and RNA control cellular function and heredity.
Hydrolysis: Hydrolysis is a reaction involving the breaking of a bond in a molecule using water.
