The incorrect statement regarding enzymes is
- Enzymes are biocatalysts.
- Like chemical catalysts enzymes reduce the activation energy of bio processes.
- Enzymes are polysaccharides.
- Enzymes are very specific for a particular reaction and substrate.
Answer
(3) Enzymes are polysaccharides.
Solution
As per NCERT, enzymes are biocatalysts and almost all enzymes are globular proteins.
Like chemical catalysts, they lower the activation energy of biochemical reactions, so (2) is correct, and they are highly specific for a particular reaction and for a particular substrate, so (4) is correct.
∴ 'Enzymes are polysaccharides' is incorrect (they are proteins).
Answer: (3)
