Question

Which of the following statements is correct?

• A. Biocatalysts accelerate the rate of a given metabolic reaction
• B. Biocatalysts are generally proteins
• C. The composition of enzyme catalyst differ from inorganic catalyst
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

Enzymes are biocatalysts that accelerate the rate of metabolic reaction that happens within the living system. Also most of them are made up of protein which is an organic compound. Whereas inorganic catalysts are made up of inorganic compounds/elements and act as catalysts for any chemical reaction. So, the composition of enzymes and inorganic catalyst is different even though they have similar functions.
