Identify the correct statements about biomolecules.
(A) Lipids are generally water soluble. (B) Proteins are polypeptides. (C) Polysaccharides are long chains of sugars. (D) Adenine and guanine are substituted pyrimidines. (E) Almost all enzymes are proteins.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Lipids are generally insoluble in water. Adenine and guanine are purines, not pyrimidines. Proteins are polypeptides, polysaccharides are polymers of sugars, and almost all enzymes are proteins.
The following reaction depicts the activity of a particular class of enzymes:
Substrate E → Product
A compound containing adjacent carbon atoms bearing X and Y groups is converted into X–Y and a compound containing a C=C double bond.
Identify the enzyme class E from the following options:
Lyases catalyse the removal of groups from substrates without hydrolysis, often resulting in the formation of double bonds.
