Correct answer: A. Oxidoreductases
- A. Oxidoreductases
- B. Hydrolases
- C. Ligases
- D. Transferases
Explanation
Option: A A dehydrogenase is an enzyme belonging to the group of oxidoreductases that oxidizes a substrate by reducing an electron acceptor, usually NAD+/NADP+ or a flavin coenzyme such as FAD or FMN. Option B: Hydrolases are a group of enzymes that catalyze bond cleavages by reaction with water. Option C: In biochemistry, a ligase is an enzyme that can catalyze the joining of two molecules by forming a new chemical bond. Option D: Transferase is any one of a class of enzymes that catalyse the transfer of specific functional groups from one molecule to another.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
