Question

Enzymes are different from catalysts in

• A. Being proteinaceous
• B. Not used up in reaction
• C. Functional at high temperature
• D. Having high rate of diffusion

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Being proteinaceous

Catalyst and enzyme increase the rate of the reaction without being used up in the reaction. They have a high rate of diffusion. They are functional at specific optimum temperature. At high temperatures, the enzyme gets denatured. Enzymes are proteinous in nature while catalyst is inorganic compounds which may be a metal, ions etc.

So, the correct answer is option A.
