alleryIn NCERT’s enzyme nomenclature, the numerical designation primarily reflects the:
ACell size in which the enzyme occurs
BType of reaction catalysed
CNumber of amino acids in the enzyme
DOrganism’s chromosome number
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Type of reaction catalysed
NCERT groups enzymes by the reaction they catalyse, with classes and subclasses represented by a four-part numerical designation. The code does not indicate protein length or cell size.
