Assertion : All enzymes are not proteins.
Reason : RNA molecules that possess catalytic activity are called ribozymes.

A: Assertion is correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
B: Assertion is correct but reason is not the correct explanation of it.
C: Assertion is true and reason is false
D: Both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Almost all enzyme are proteins. They may have additional inorganic or organic substances for their activity. There are some RNA molecules that behave like enzymes. These are called ribozymes.
