- Transferases
- Oxidoreductases
- Dehydrogenases
- Lyases
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Lyases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of C-C, C-O, C-N, and other bonds by means other than hydrolysis or oxidation. They often form double bonds or rings in the process.
The other options are incorrect:
- Transferases: Catalyze the transfer of a functional group from one molecule to another.
- Oxidoreductases: Catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions.
- Dehydrogenases: A subclass of oxidoreductases that specifically catalyze the removal of hydrogen atoms.

Questions Asked in NEET exam
- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.
