Multiple Choice

Match the correct enzyme classification with the examples provided.
-transferases

• A) enzymes that catalyze cleavage of C-C,C-S,and certain C-N bonds (excluding peptide bonds)without hydrolysis or oxidation-reduction
• B) enzymes forming bonds between carbon and other atoms,such as acetyl-CoA carboxylase,which adds bicarbonate to acetyl-CoA to initiate fatty acid synthesis in the cytoplast
• C) enzymes in the electron transport chain in the mitochondria
• D) enzymes that catalyze cleavage of bonds by addition of water,such as digestive enzymes
• E) enzymes that catalyze reactions,not oxidation or reduction,in which a functional group is moved from one substrate to another,such as transaminases

Definitions:

Chemoautotrophs

Organisms that obtain their energy through the chemical oxidation of inorganic substances and use that energy to synthesize organic compounds from carbon dioxide.

Photoautotrophs

Organisms that carry out photosynthesis to acquire energy, using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce oxygen and glucose.

Inorganic Carbons

Carbon compounds that do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, typically excluding those found in living organisms or their remains.

Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria

Bacteria capable of converting atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, making nitrogen available to plants for growth.
