Question

. Enzymes differ from ordinary catalysts in that they are-
(A) Non proteins
(B) All proteins
(C) Produced outside cell
(D) Inorgani

Answer 1

D) inorganic

The difference between catalysts and enzymes is that enzymes are largely organic in nature and are bio-catalysts, while non-enzymatic catalysts can be inorganic compounds.

Answer 2

Answer:

Enzymes are protein molecules that function as a catalyst in cells. They generate a chemical reaction. They perform a wide range of vital functions in the body. They also aid in digestion and metabolism.

Explanation:

• The distinction between enzyme and catalyst is that enzymes are organic in nature and serve as natural bio-catalysts, whereas catalysts are inorganic compounds.

• The molecular weight of enzymes is high, whereas the molecular weight of catalysts is low.

• Therefore, Enzymes differ from Ordinary catalysts - Due to their proteinaceous nature. Hence, OPTION (B) All Proteins is the correct answer.

• OPTION(A) Non proteins
• Is Incorrect answer as they are proteinaceous in nature.

• OPTION (C) Produced outside cell
• Is Incorrect answer as they are produced inside the cell at the level of cell cytoplasm.
• OPTION (D) Inorganic
• Is Incorrect answer as the Enzymes are infact Organic in nature and not Inorganic. As, Inorganic substances will be called Catalysts.
