Options
- ANicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
- BHaem
- CZinc
- DNiacin
Correct answer
B. Haem
Step-by-step solution
The enzyme which catalyse the breakdown of H ₂ O ₂ as : H ₂ O ₂ H ₂ O + O ₂ is called Catalase which have prosthetic group Haem. This enzyme is activated by iron. The breakdown occurs inside peroxisome during photorespiration.
