Enzymes are biocatalysts. They catalyse biochemical reaction. In general they reduce activation energy of reactions. Many physico-chemical processes are enzyme mediated. Some examples of enzyme mediated reactions are given below. Tick the wrong entry

A

Dissolving `CO_2` in water

B

Untwining the two strands of DNA

C

Hydrolysis of sucrose

D

Formation of peptide bond

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
Formation of peptide bond needs the enzyme peptidyl transferase. In fact NCERT itself mentions ''There is no uncatalysed metabolic conversion in living systems, every chemical reaction in them is a catalysed reaction."
