Enzymes that bring about exchange of functional group is called _?

Correct answer: D. Transferases

  • A. Oxidoreductase
  • B. Hydrolases
  • C. Ligases
  • D. Transferases

Explanation

Enzymes that bring about exchange of functional group are called Transferases. Transferases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a functional group from one molecule to another. The functional group can be an atom, a group of atoms, or a molecule. Some examples of transferases include: Kinases: These enzymes transfer a phosphate group from ATP to another molecule. Glycosidases: These enzymes transfer a sugar group from one molecule to another. Aminotransferases: These enzymes transfer an amino group from one molecule to another. Transferases play an important role in many biological processes, including metabolism, cell signaling, and DNA repair.

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.
