Q2 / 180 · NEET 2025 · Biology
Which one of the following enzymes contains 'Haem' as the prosthetic group?
- ARuBisCo
- BCarbonic anhydrase
- CSuccinate dehydrogenase
- Correct answerDCatalase
Solution
In peroxidase and catalase, which catalyze the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen, haem is the prosthetic group and it is part of the active site of the enzymes.
Zinc is the cofactor in enzyme carbonic anhydrase.
RuBisCo is the most abundant protein in whole of the biosphere.
Succinate is the substrate of enzyme succinic dehydrogenase.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
