Question

The incorrect statements regarding enzymes are
(A) Enzymes are biocatalysts.
(B) Enzymes are non-specific and can catalyse different kinds of reactions.
(C) Most Enzymes are globular proteins.
(D) Enzyme - oxidase catalyses the hydrolysis of maltose into glucose.
Choose the correct answer from the option given below:

• A. (B) and (C)
• B. (B), (C) and (D)
• C. (B) and (D)
• D. (A), (B) and (C)

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(B) and (D)

Answer 2

Statement (A) is correct because enzymes function as biocatalysts, accelerating biochemical reactions.

Statement (B) is incorrect because enzymes are specific in their action and typically catalyze only particular types of reactions.

Statement (C) is correct as most enzymes are indeed globular proteins.

Statement (D) is incorrect because oxidase enzymes do not catalyze the hydrolysis of maltose into glucose; instead, they are involved in oxidation-reduction reactions.

Thus, the incorrect statements are (B) and (D).
