There are various types of enzymes, including lyases, ligases, isomerases, hydrolases, oxidoreductases, etc. To know about the types of enzymes in detail, refer to the article.

We can define enzymes as biocatalysts. It is important in biological processes like digestion, metabolism, and the synthesis of cellular components. If enzymes stop their functions, then the body can not generate enough proteins, which is important for survival. The examples of enzymes are lactase and amylase.

Foods that contains nucleic acids are animal products such as meat, eggs, fish and few plant-based sources are legumes, spinach, mushrooms, yeast and cereals. Adding these foods in the diet will support the body's nucleic acid pool, which is important for cellular function.

DNA and RNA both are the types of nucleic acids.

• DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) store the genetic  information.

• RNA (Ribonucleic acid) helps in protein synthesis. It carry and translates the genetic codes.

The "ampere" was defined based on the magnetic interaction. The scientific community used the magnetic force between two parallel current-carrying conductors placed at a distance. Below is the definition of 1 ampere, based on this concept.

Covalent and electrovalent bonding are the two major chemical bonding processes. These two bonds are different from each other in multiple aspects. Check the table below to know a concise summary of the differences.

The major functions of hormones are:

• Regulating Metabolism
• Controlling Growth and Development
• Managing Stress and Energy
• Regulating Sleep and Mood

Hormones present in the human body are:

• Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)

• Dopamine (prolactin-inhibiting hormones)

• Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)

• Adrenal Glands

• Androgens

• Estrogen

• Inhibin

• Testosterone

• Gastrin

• Melatonin
