Answer 1

1. Yes, proteins, ATP, enzymes and ribozymes are responsible for doing work in the cell.

The proteins help in diverse structural functions and also act as hormones and enzymes.

ATP is the energy currency of the cell that helps provide energy for different reaction in the cell.

Enzymes are biocatalyst that help in regulating the rate of a reaction in the cell.

Ribozymes are the RNA enzymes that mainly act in the ribosomes to catalyse the reaction of formation of proteins.
