NEETBotanyBiomolecules (B)
Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: Enzymes which catalyse oxidoreduction between two substrates fall under oxidoreductase category Reason: Enzymes that catalyse removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis leaving double bond are hydrolases.
Options
- ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
- BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- CAssertion is true but the Reason is false
- DBoth Assertion and Reason are false
Correct answer
C. Assertion is true but the Reason is false
Step-by-step solution
Enzymes which catalyse oxidoreduction between two substrates fall under the category of oxidoreductase enzymes. Enzymes that catalyse removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis leaving double bonds are lyases.
