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`).
