Which mineral element is essential for the activity of enzyme aconitase?

  1. Zinc

  2. Copper

  3. Iron

  4. Vanadium

  5. Cadmium


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Iron is involved with the enzyme aconitase, which is used in the krebs cycle in the conversion of citrate into isocitrate.

Non protein part of the enzyme is called

  1. holoenzyme

  2. apoenzyme

  3. coenzyme

  4. prosthetic group

  5. all the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Coenzymes are organic molecules that are required by certain enzymes to carry out catalysis.

Nitrate reductase enzyme forms

  1. nitrogen

  2. amino acid

  3. ammonia

  4. nitrite

  5. nitrate


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Nitrate reductse catalyse the conversion of nitrates into nitrites.

An enzyme extract when subjected to electric field separates into two fractions, each catalyzing the same reaction. These fractions are

  1. allosteric enzymes

  2. coenzymes

  3. prosthetic groups

  4. isoenzymes

  5. multi enzymes


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Any of the chemically distinct forms of an enzyme that perform the same biochemical function.

Which mineral element is essential for the activity of the enzyme nitrate reductase?

  1. Molybdenum

  2. Zinc

  3. Potassium

  4. Nickel

  5. Manganese


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Molybdenum is required as a cofactor with the enzyme nitrate reductase involved in the nitrogen fixation process.

Which mineral element is necessary for the enzyme enolase?

  1. Magnesium

  2. Manganese

  3. Iron

  4. Molybednum

  5. Nickel


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Enolase catalyses the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate (2-PG) to phosphoenolpyruvate. Magnesium is required as a cofactor with this enzyme.

NADP is_____.

  1. a coenzyme

  2. an enzyme

  3. a part of tRNA

  4. a part of sRNA

  5. a vitamin


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A coenzyme is a substance that works with an enzyme to initiate or aid the function of the enzyme.

Inorganic part of the enzyme is called

  1. hormone

  2. coenzyme

  3. prosthetic group

  4. activator

  5. holoenzyme


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Enzyme activators are molecules that bind to enzymes and increase their activity. They are the opposite of enzyme inhibitors. It is the inorganic part of the enzyme.

Enzymes are absent in

  1. algae

  2. fungi

  3. bacteria

  4. lactic acid bacteria

  5. virus


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

No enzymes are found in the virus as these are inert particles. These exist as a connecting link between living and non living kingdom.

At boiling point, an enzyme is

  1. killed

  2. denatured

  3. unaffected

  4. inactivated

  5. all the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

At very high temperatures, the enzyme gets denatured as it is composed of amino acids and various amino acids are affected together by high temperatures.

Enzymes, vitamins and hormones have one thing in common, i.e. they ____________.

  1. all are synthesized inside the organism

  2. all are proteins

  3. all help in regulatory mechanism

  4. all increase oxidative metabolism

  5. all are used up in the reaction


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is true as all of them help in the regulation of metabolic processes of the body.

Which of the following is not a character of enzyme?

  1. They are specific in nature.

  2. They are used up in the reaction.

  3. They are proteinaceous in nature.

  4. They speed up the rate of reaction.

  5. The amino acids present in enzymes are linked together by peptide bonds.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is not used up in the reaction. At the end of the reaction, it remains unused.

In plants, enzymes are present in

  1. flowers

  2. leaves

  3. stems

  4. seeds

  5. in all living cells


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

In short, it can be said that enzymes in plants are present in all the living cells catalyzing different reactions.

Fat is hydrolyzed by enzyme lipase to yield

  1. fatty acids and amino acids

  2. glycerol and fatty acids

  3. glycerin and water

  4. glycerol and amino acids

  5. only fatty acids


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Fat is hydrolyzed by enzyme lipase to yield-glycerol and fatty acids.

At temperature below freezing point, an enzyme is

  1. inactivated

  2. unaffected

  3. killed

  4. slightly activated

  5. first deactivated then killed


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Enzyme activity is stopped at below or above its optimum temperature.
