The correct Answer is:
To determine the suffix added to substrates for naming enzymes, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Enzymes**: Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are typically named based on the substrate they act upon. 2. **Identifying the Suffix**: The suffix used for naming enzymes is derived from the name of the substrate. Generally, the suffix "-ase" is added to the name of the substrate to form the name of the enzyme. 3. **Examples**: - If the substrate is "sucrose," the enzyme that acts on it is called "sucrase." - If the substrate is "lipid," the enzyme that acts on it is called "lipase." - If the substrate is "protein," the enzyme that acts on it is called "protease." 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the suffix added to the substrate for naming the enzyme is "-ase." ### Final Answer: The correct suffix added to substrates for naming enzymes is **-ase**. ---

Assertion. Enzymes are now named by adding suffix 'ase' to the root word of the substrate, but the enzyme name pepsin ends with 'in'. Reason. Enzymes with 'in' at the ens were named before the modern system of naming the enzymes was devised.

Arrange the steps of catalytic action of an enzyme in order and select the correct option I. The enzyme releases the products of the reaction and the enzyme is free to bind to another substrate II. The active site of enzyme is in close proximity of the substrate and breaks the chemical bonds of the substrate III. The binding of substrate induces the enzyme to alter its shape fitting more tightly around substrate. VI. The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme
