NEET 2022 · ChemistryEnzymesPrevious Year Question
The incorrect statement regarding enzymes is:
Answer: (C) Enzymes are polysaccharides.. \textbf{Answer:} (C) Enzymes are globular proteins, not polysaccharides.
- A.Enzymes are biocatalysts.
- B.Like chemical catalysts, enzymes reduce the activation energy of biological processes.
- C.Enzymes are polysaccharides.✓
- D.Enzymes are very specific for a particular reaction and substrate.
Correct Answer
(C) Enzymes are polysaccharides.
Solution & Explanation
\textbf{Answer:} (C) Enzymes are globular proteins, not polysaccharides. \textbf{Solution:} Enzymes are biocatalysts made up of amino acids linked by peptide bonds (), i.e. they are globular proteins. They lower the activation energy of biochemical reactions and are highly specific for their substrate. The statement that enzymes are polysaccharides is false, so option C is the incorrect statement asked for.
