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

Answers (1)

DNA possesses all the genetic information of an organism. This genetic information can be transcripted in the form of proteins, multiprotein complexes, enzymes etc. The actual length of DNA is in meters. The actual size of DNA is 2 meters long.  Although they are present in condensed form. So they appear smaller when compared normally with enzymes.  While enzyme on the other side enzymes have variable sizes. However the maximum size of any enzyme can never cross 2 meters of length. Hence, they will be smaller always when compared to DNA. Thus, we can conclude that DNA is bigger than enzymes.
