Identify the correct statement regarding enzymes.
Enzymes are specific biological catalysts that can normally function at very high temperatures .
Enzymes are normally heterogeneous catalysts that are very specific in action.
Enzymes are specific biological catalysts that cannot be poisoned.
Enzymes are specific biological catalysts that possess welldefined active sites.
As we learnt in
Lock and key hypothesis of enzyme action -
Enzymes molecules act like a lock whereas substrate acts like a key . Substrate fits in the active site of the enzyme and forms a complex which decompose to yield products
- wherein
Enzymes -
These are biological catalysts that enhances the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy.
- wherein
Eg. Maltose amylase, carbonic anhydrase,etc.
Enzymes are highly specific and substrate bind to their active sites.
Option 1)
Enzymes are specific biological catalysts that can normally function at very high temperatures .
This option is incorrect
Option 2)
Enzymes are normally heterogeneous catalysts that are very specific in action.
This option is incorrect
Option 3)
Enzymes are specific biological catalysts that cannot be poisoned.
This option is incorrect
Option 4)
Enzymes are specific biological catalysts that possess welldefined active sites.
This option is correct
Study 40% syllabus and score up to 100% marks in JEE
Option d is correct Kyunki enzyme Khaas biological catalyst hoga Jisme achha se defined Jagah Hota h
