Assertion : Inorganic catalysts work eff...

Assertion : Inorganic catalysts work efficiently at high temperature.
Reason : Enzymes get damaged at high temperature.

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:
B
Enzyme differ from inorganic catalysts in many ways. Inorganic catalysts work efficiently at high temperature and high pressures, while enzyme get damaged at high temperature (above `40^(@)C`). However, enzyme isolated from organisms who normally live under extremely high temperatures (e.g., hot vents and sulphur springs(, are stable and retain their catalytic power even at high temperatures (upto `80^(@)-90^(@)C`).
