Name the type of enzyme involved in the following reaction $S-G+{S}^{'} \longrightarrow S-{S}^{'}+G$.

  1. Dehydrogenase

  2. Transferase

  3. Hydrolase

  4. Lyase
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Transferase is an enzyme that transfers a specific functional groups from one molecule to another. 

Enzyme catalyzing optical or geometrical rearrangement of atomic groupings without altering molecular weight or number of atom is isomerase. It converts into from one isomer to the other isomer by changing the intramolecular arrangement by forming or breaking the bond. 
Dehydrogenase is an enzyme which participates in the oxidoreductase reaction by using a electron acceptor.
Hydrolase are the enzyme which catalyses the splitting of compounds by addition of water.
Lyase is the process by which the chemical bonds are broken down by the process other than hydrolysis and oxidation. It allows the formation of new bond. 
So, the correct answer is option B.

Arginosuccinase is a .............. enzyme.

  1. Hydrolase

  2. Ligase

  3. Lyase

  4. Oxido-reductase
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Hydrolase is a class of enzyme which act as biochemical catalysts that use water to break chemical bonds.

Ligase is an enzyme which catalyses the joining of two large molecules by forming a new bond generally accompanied by hydrolysis of a small chemical group.
Lyase is an enzyme which catalyses the breaking of C-C, C-O and C-N bonds by any methods other than hydrolysis or oxidation. Arginosuccinase is an enzyme which catalyses the breakdown of argininosuccinate producing arginine and fumarate.
Oxido-reductase is an enzyme which catalyses the transfer of electrons from the molecule of the reductant which acts as the electron donor to another molecule of the oxidant which accepts the electron.
So, the correct answer is 'Lyase'.

Enzyme involved in transfer of electrons belongs to 

  1. Hydrolase

  2. Desmolase

  3. Transaminase

  4. Dehydrogenase
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Dehydrogenase is an enzyme which participates in the oxidoreductase reaction by using an electron acceptor. It is involved in the transfer of electrons because it oxidizes a substrate by reducing it which means it transfers the electron from the substrate to an electron acceptor. Succinate dehydrogenase is an enzyme which is present in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It catalyzes the oxidation of succinate to fumarate.

So, the correct answer is option D.

Lactose metabolising enzyme, produced in the presence of lactose only is

  1. Inducible enzyme

  2. Repressible enzyme

  3. Regulatory enzyme

  4. Constitutive enzyme
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Inducible enzymes are synthesized only in the presence of their specific substrate, such as the enzymes of the lac operon in the presence of lactose.

Enzymes catalysing removal of group and formation of double bonds are 

  1. Ligases

  2. Lyases

  3. Transferases

  4. Oxidoreductases
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Lyases is an enzyme which catalyses the joining of specified molecules or groups by a double bond. Lyases catalyze reactions where functional groups are added to break double bonds in molecules or the reverse where double bonds are formed by the removal of functional groups. So, the correct answer is option B.
