Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxidases and hydrogenases are the enzymes involved in oxidation-reduction reactions.

Answer: E
 Carboxylases or decarboxylases are enzymes involved in adding or removing a carboxyl group from a molecule.

Answer: C
 Phosphorylating enzymes are enzymes that add a phosphate group to a molecule, often using ATP as a source of energy.

Answer: D
 Mutases or isomerases are enzymes that facilitate the rearrangement of atoms within a molecule.

Answer: A
 Hydrases are enzymes that catalyze the addition or removal of water from a molecule.

Answer: B
 Hydrolases are enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of a covalent bond using water, often resulting in the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones.
