When product formed acts as a catalyst the phenomena is called:
Correct answer: B. Autocatalysis
- A. Biocatalyst
- B. Autocatalysis
- C. Heterocatalysis
- D. Homocatalysis
Explanation
Option C is correct as catalysts are generally foreign substances, but sometimes one of the products formed in a reaction can act as a catalyst. That is, it can increase the rate of the reaction. Such a catalyst is called an auto catalyst.This phenomenon is called autocatalysis. An example of "autocatalysis" is when oxalic acid is titrated with potassium permanganate in the presence of dilute sulphuric acid.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
