Suppose that enzyme x catalyzes a reaction that involves the breakdown of a molecule. the product of this reaction is an amino acid. what molecule is the enzyme breaking down?

Protein

Explanation:

An enzyme is a biocatalyst that plays an important role in increasing the speed of the chemical reactions that occurs in the body.If the enzyme is catalyzing a reaction where the product is broken down into amino acids, then this reaction is a type of decomposition reaction.In a decomposition reaction, a substrate is broken down into the products that constituted it.Since amino acids join to form a protein thus, the molecule that is being broken down in the reaction must be a protein.
