Question

All of the following statements is correct except

• A. Enzymes are made from proteins.
• B. One enzyme can facilitate the reaction of many different substrates.
• C. Enzymes sometimes use induced fits to break apart their substrates.
• D. Enzymes are not required for spontaneous reactions.
• E. Not all catalysts are enzymes.

Answer 1

The correct option is B One enzyme can facilitate the reaction of many different substrates.

Enzymes are catalytic proteins. The enzymes are specific to their substrates. They act on a range of similar substrates. Enzymes work their substrate by induced fit model. In the case of spontaneous reactions, the reactions moves forward on their own. There is no requirement of enzymes to catalyse such reactions.

Thus, the correct answer is option 'One enzyme can facilitate the reaction of many different substrates'.
