Question

Pepsin and urease are examples for which class of enzymes

a. Hydrolases

b. Ligases

c. Oxidoreductases

d. Lyases
​

Answer 1

Pepsin and urease are examples for which class of enzymes:

From the above-given options,

The correct answer is option A

a. Hydrolases

There are  a total of six types of enzymes:

1. Oxidoreductases
2. Transferases
3. Hydrolases
4. Lyases
5. Isomerases
6. Ligase

The reason for  choosing option a.Hydrolases

Hydrolases are the class of enzymes that catalyze hydrolytic reactions in the biochemical process. They used water for breaking a covalent bond whereas, in the case of other enzymes like lyases catalyze to double bond, ligases catalyze the formation of a chemical bond between two large types of molecules, and oxidoreductases catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions in living cells.
