Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxidases and hydrogenases are enzymes involved in oxidation-reduction reactions, specifically the oxidation of substrates and the reduction of oxygen or hydrogen ions.

Answer: E
 Carboxylases and decarboxylases are enzymes that add or remove a carboxyl group (-COOH) from a molecule, respectively.

Answer: C
 Phosphorylating enzymes add a phosphate group to a molecule, often as a way to activate or deactivate it.

Answer: D
 Mutases or isomerases are enzymes that catalyze the rearrangement of atoms within a molecule, either by moving a functional group or changing the position of a double bond.

Hydrases and hydrolases are not involved in oxidation-reduction reactions, but instead catalyze the addition or removal of water from a molecule, respectively.
