The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following enzymes has heme as a prosthetic group, we will analyze each enzyme listed in the question: 1. **Catalase**: - Catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. It contains heme as a prosthetic group, which is crucial for its catalytic activity. 2. **Carboxypeptidase**: - Carboxypeptidase is a digestive enzyme that removes amino acids from the carboxyl end of proteins. It does not contain heme as a prosthetic group; instead, it is a zinc-dependent enzyme. 3. **Succinic dehydrogenase**: - Succinic dehydrogenase is involved in the citric acid cycle and is responsible for the conversion of succinate to fumarate. This enzyme does not contain heme as a prosthetic group; it typically contains flavin as a cofactor. 4. **Peroxidase**: - Peroxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of peroxides. Similar to catalase, peroxidase also contains heme as a prosthetic group, which is essential for its function. Based on this analysis, the enzymes that have heme as a prosthetic group are **catalase** and **peroxidase**. ### Final Answer: The enzymes that have heme as a prosthetic group are **(i) Catalase** and **(iv) Peroxidase**.
