Identify the correct statement regarding enzymes

Question

Identify the correct statement regarding enzymes (A) Enzymes are specific biological catalysts that can normally function at very high temperatures (T∼ 1000 text K)  (B) Enzymes are normally heterogeneous catalysts that are very specific in their action (C) Enzymes are specific biological catalysts that cannot be poisoned (D) Enzymes are specific biological catalysts that possess well defined active sites.

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Normal optimum temperature of enzymes is between 25° C to 40° C hence (a) is false. Similarly (b) and (c) are also false. Enzymes have well defined active sites and their actions are specific in nature.

Q. Identify the correct statement regarding enzymes

Enzymes are specific biological catalysts that can normally function at very high temperatures $(T \sim 1000 K)$

Enzymes are normally heterogeneous catalysts that are very specific in their action

Enzymes are specific biological catalysts that cannot be poisoned

Enzymes are specific biological catalysts that possess well defined active sites.

Normal optimum temperature of enzymes is between $25^{\circ} C$ to $40^{\circ} C$ hence (a) is false. Similarly (b) and (c) are also false. Enzymes have well defined active sites and their actions are specific in nature.
