Question

Enzymes act as exceptionally specific, high-efficiency biochemical catalysts operating via a lock-and-key mechanism. Which of the following matches between a biological enzyme and its specific catalytic function are strictly correct?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A,B,C. Options A, B, and C correctly pair the enzyme to its known biochemical reaction. Option D is fundamentally reversed; pepsin is a digestive enzyme that specifically catalyzes the breakdown (hydrolysis) of complex proteins into simpler amino acids, not the other way around.
