Question

Which of the following statements is not correct?

All enzymes found in cells are invariably proteins which catalyse biological reactions
B
Enzymes act efficiently at a moderate temperature and pH
C
Coenzymes increase the activities of enzymes
D
Enzymes are not specific in their action on substrates
Solution
Verified by Toppr

(A) Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biological reactions. Thus, the option A is correct.
(B) Enzymes act efficiently at a optimum value of temperature and pH. Thus, option B is incorrect.
(C) Co-enzymes do not increase the activities of enzymes. They help enzymes in the catalytic activity. Co-enzymes bind to the active site of the catalyst and participate in the enzyme activity. Thus, option C is incorrect.
(D) Enzymes are highly specific in their action on substrates.
Thus, option D is correct.

Q5

Enzymes are highly efficient catalyst. An enzyme 'catalase' increases the rate of decomposition of H2O2(aq) into H2O(1) and O2(g) e20 times at 300 K. The activation energy of enzyme catalysed reaction is 2.0 kcal/mol. Which of the following information(s) is/are correct assuming that the value of pre-exponential factor is unaffected by temperature change or use of catalyst and the activation energy is independent of temperature.
