Which among the following is incorrect about amino acids?(a) Enzymes are named after compounds/ class on which they act and their names end with “-ase”(b) Oxidoreductase reduces few substrates whereas oxidizes few other substrates(c) Enzyme kinetics is governed by Michael-Menden equation(d) Enzymes take part in the reaction and increase the rate of reactionThe question was asked in an international level competition.My doubt stems from Biomolecules-3 in portion Biomolecules of Biology – Class 11

Answer»

Right option is (d) Enzymes take part in the reaction and INCREASE the rate of reaction

Easiest explanation: Enzymes are named after compounds/ CLASS on which they act and their names END with “-ase”. Oxidoreductase reduces few SUBSTRATES whereas oxidizes few other substrates. Enzyme kinetics is GOVERNED by Michael-Menden equation. Enzymes don’t take part in the reaction but increase the rate of reaction.
