An enzyme that can convert glucose into fructose is a member of which class of enzymes?
A) oxidoreductases
B) transferases
C) hydrolases
D) lyases
E) isomerases

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isomerases are enzymes that catalyze the rearrangement of atoms within a molecule but do not change the overall chemical formula. The conversion of glucose to fructose involves rearranging the positions of the atoms, making it an isomerization reaction. Therefore, an enzyme that can convert glucose to fructose belongs to the class of isomerases.
