NEETBotanyBiomolecules (B)
Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. Low temperature destroys enzymatic activity because proteins are denatured by low heat 2. High temperature preserves the enzyme in a temporarily inactive state 3. Thermal stability is thus an important quality of such enzymes isolated from thermophilic organisms. 4. Inorganic catalysts work efficiently at high temperatures and high pressures, while enzym
Options
- AOnly 3 is incorrect
- BAll are correct
- CBoth 1 and 2 are incorrect
- DOnly 1 is incorrect
Correct answer
C. Both 1 and 2 are incorrect
Step-by-step solution
Low temperature preserves the enzyme in a temporarily inactive state whereas high temperature destroys enzymatic activity because proteins are denatured by heat
