- 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.

A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :

- An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litre has 18.20 moles of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its gauge pressure drops to 11 atmospheric pressure at temperature \(27^\circ\)C. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to: [Given, \(R = \frac{100}{12} \text{ J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}\), and molecular mass of \(O_2 = 32 \text{ g/mol}\), 1 atm pressure = \(1.01 \times 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2\)]
