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; almost all enzymes are globular proteins.
⇒ Like chemical catalysts, enzymes lower the activation energy of biochemical reactions — (2) is correct.
⇒ Enzymes are highly specific for a particular reaction and for a particular substrate — (4) is correct.
∴ 'Enzymes are polysaccharides' is incorrect (they are proteins).
Answer: (3)
