AIPMT PRELIMS 2001 Chemistry Enzymes MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

Percentage of Se in peroxidase anhydrous enzyme is 0.5% by weight (at. wt = 78.4) then minimum molecular weight of peroxidase anhydrous enzymes is : -

A

568 × 10⁴

B

568 × 10³

C

15.68

D

136 × 10⁴

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

If Se is 0.5% by weight, then 0.5 g of Se is present in 100 g of enzyme. Using the atomic weight of Se, calculate the molecular weight: (78.4/0.5) × 100 = 1.568 × 10⁴.
