- A. Oxireductase enzyme
- B. Ligases enzyme
- C. Lyases enzyme
- D. Isomerases enzyme
Explanation: Racemases convert one optical isomer into its mirror-image form without adding or removing atoms, so they are classified as isomerases.
Correct answer: Isomerases enzyme- A. Transferases enzyme
- B. Hydrolases enzyme
- C. Oxireductases enzyme
- D. Ligases enzymeOrder Meal Kits
Explanation: Esterases, proteinases and phosphatases catalyse hydrolysis, meaning they split bonds by using water.
Correct answer: Hydrolases enzyme- A. Hydrolases
- B. Transferases
- C. Oxidoreductases enzymes
- D. Lysases
Explanation: Cytochrome oxidase and alcohol dehydrogenase catalyse oxidation-reduction reactions involving electron or hydrogen transfer.
Correct answer: Oxidoreductases enzymes- A. Clostridium
- B. Staphylococcus
- C. Mycodesmavin
- D. Both a & bOrder DNA Kits
Explanation: Clostridium species, especially C. botulinum, and Staphylococcus aureus can produce toxins responsible for food poisoning.
Correct answer: Both a & bOrder DNA Kits- A. Caramalization
- B. Mail lard reaction
- C. Browning
- D. Purification
Explanation: Caramelization is the non-enzymatic browning of sugars caused by controlled heating in the absence of water, producing polymers and brown…
Correct answer: Caramalization- A. Drying and dehydration
- B. Sun drying
- C. Browning
- D. None of these
Explanation: Drying and dehydration preserve food by removing available water, thereby restricting microbial growth and enzyme activity.
