हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: Inorganic catalysts work efficiently at high temperatures and high pressures, whereas most enzymes get damaged at temperatures above 40°C. Statement II: Enzymes isolated from thermophilic organisms living in hot vents retain their catalytic activity even at temperatures up to 80°-90°C. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 1
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Explanation
Both statements are correct. Inorganic catalysts work well at elevated temperatures and pressures, while most biological enzymes denature above 40°C, except thermal-stable enzymes isolated from thermophilic organisms.
