Hint: The diet which involves several foods that can fulfill the requirements of the body to work effectively. The requirements involve proteins, minerals, vitamins, calories, etc. A balanced diet not only provides the required nutrients to the body but also stores some amount of additional nutrients in the body for future use.

Note: Enzymes are those proteins that act as the catalytic component in the biological reaction. During the reaction, enzymes remain unchanged and convert the substrate into the product. The nucleic acid is responsible for carrying genetic information from one generation to another. There are two types of nucleic acids found in nature, named deoxyribonucleic acid, and ribonucleic acid. Both nucleic acid and enzymes are syntheses by the body, so there is no need to take these externally.
