Question

Enzyme catalysts differ from inorganic catalysts as

• A. Inorganic catalysts work efficiently at high temperatures and high pressures, while enzymes get damaged at high temperatures (above $40^{\circ }C$)
• B. Enzyme increases the activation energy while organic catalyst decreases
• C. Enzymes are used up in a reaction while inorganic catalyst remain unchanged
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Enzyme catalyst differ from inorganic catalysts as
• Inorganic catalysts work efficiently at high temperatures and high pressures, while enzymes get damaged at high temperatures (above $40^{\circ }C)$.
• Enzyme and organic catalyst decrease activation energy.
• Enzyme and inorganic catalyst remain unchanged.
