Question
Four respiratory enzymes are given below. Arrange them in the increasing order of carbon numbers of their substrates.
I. Enolase, II. Aconitase, III. Fumarase, IV. Alcohol dehydrogenase
I. Enolase, II. Aconitase, III. Fumarase, IV. Alcohol dehydrogenase
Answer: Option D
:
D
Enolase works on 2-phosphoglyceric acid (3C compound) to form phosphoenolpyruvate in the glycolysis pathway, aconitase on citric acid (6C compound), fumarase on fumaric acid (4C compound) and alcohol dehydrogenase on acetaldehyde (2C-compound). Thus, increasing order of these enzymes based on carbon number of their substrates is - IV, I, III, II.
