Assertion : Enzymes application provides protection to enzymes without affecting their activity.
Reason : Immobilization provides protection to enzymes without affecting their activity.

Options

A. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
B. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explananation of the assertion
C. If the assertion is true but the reasons is false
D. If both the assertion and reason are false

Answer

A

Explanation

An immmoblized enzyme is physically entrapped or covalently bonded by chemical means to an inert and usally isolube matrix, where it can act upon its natural sunstrate. The matrix, is usually a high molecular weight, polymer such as polyacrylamide, cellulose, strach ,galss, beads, etc. Because of its binding wih a matrix, the immobilizzed enzyme has better stability in many cases. Efficiency of immobilized enzyme is better. The enzyme can be recovered at the end of the reaction and can be used repeatedly.
