Question

Enzyme catalysis is an example of:

• A. autocatalysis
• B. heterogeneous catalysis
• C. homogeneous catalysis
• D. induced catalysis

Answer 1

The correct option is C homogeneous catalysis

When the biomolecules and enzymes are in the same state, the enzymes are said to be homogeneous catalysts, whereas when they are in a different state, then the enzyme is said to be a heterogeneous catalyst.

Enzymes are homogeneous catalysts since they have to be in the same state as that of the reactants in order to mix well and speed up the decomposition of the biomolecule.
