Question

Which of the following is not characteristic of an enzyme

• A. Enzymes are usually named by adding the suffix -ase to the name of its substrate
• B. Enzymes can operate under wide ranges of temperature and pressure
• C. An enzyme is specific as the reaction it will catalyze
• D. Enzymes are proteins

Answer 1

The correct option is B Enzymes can operate under wide ranges of temperature and pressure

Enzymes tend to denature at high temperatures thus they cannot operate under a wide range of temperature and work efficiently at optimum temperature.

So, the correct option is 'Enzymes can operate under wide ranges of temperature and pressure'.
