NEET Zoology Enzymes MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about enzymes and their function is correct?
Enzymes can function efficiently at high temperatures without being damaged.
Enzymes catalyze reactions by lowering the activation energy required.
Competitive inhibitors enhance enzyme activity by binding to the active site.
Enzymes are only effective at temperatures below 40°C for all organisms.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Enzymes catalyze reactions by lowering the activation energy, allowing reactions to occur at a much higher rate. While enzymes do get damaged at high temperatures, some enzymes from heat-loving organisms can remain stable at temperatures above 40°C.
