Cytochromic oxidases are categorized into:
Correct answer: C. Oxidoreductases
- A. Transferases
- B. Lyases
- C. Oxidoreductases
- D. Hydrolases
Explanation
Oxidoreductases are specialized enzymes that facilitate oxidation and reduction reactions by transferring electrons or hydrogen ions between substrates. Cytochrome oxidase specifically catalyzes the oxidation of cytochromes by facilitating the transfer of electrons, thus categorizing it as an oxidoreductase. The other options are incorrect as follows: Transferases do not involve electron transfer but rather functional group transfer; Lyases break bonds through alternative means rather than oxidation-reduction; Hydrolases perform hydrolysis, which is not a function of cytochromic oxidase.

About Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.

A student of chemical engineering mistakenly engulfed the toxic compound "A," which was a potent inhibitor of a certain enzyme. He was immediately brought to the hospital, where the doctor injected intravenously substrate "B" to minimize the toxic effect of compound A. His life was saved from serious damage. The treatment method shows that compound A was a_ inhibitor.
