Question

Proteins with catalytic power are known as

Mr. NARESH KUMAR K · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: C
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
**Primary Concept**: Enzyme Function
**Related Topics**: Protein Structure, Catalysis, Biochemistry
**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of biological molecules, specifically proteins and their functions.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	The question asks for the term that describes proteins with catalytic power.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Recall the definition of enzymes.
		Reasoning: Enzymes are biological catalysts, meaning they speed up chemical reactions.
		Formula/Rule: None applicable
	2. Identify the term that matches the definition from the options.
		Working: From the provided options, 'Enzymes' is the term that specifically refers to proteins with catalytic function.
	3. Select the correct answer.
		Result: The correct answer is C. Enzymes.
		Verification:  Enzymes are well-known for their catalytic activity in biological systems.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Metabolites are the products or reactants of metabolic reactions, not catalysts.
[B] :x: Essential proteins are necessary for bodily function, but don't necessarily have catalytic power.
[C] ✓: Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts, speeding up reactions.
[D] :x: Receptors are proteins that bind to signaling molecules and initiate a cellular response, not catalysts.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
**Common Mistakes**:
	1. Confusing enzymes with other types of proteins: Understand that enzymes are a specific class of proteins with catalytic function.
		How to avoid: Focus on the definition of enzymes as biological catalysts.
	2. Confusing enzymes with receptors: Receptors bind to signal molecules, but do not catalyze reactions.
		How to avoid: Understand that enzymes speed up reactions while receptors initiate cell responses.
**Quick Tips**:
	1. Remember the 'ase' suffix often indicates an enzyme.
	2. Think of enzymes as the 'workers' of the cell, speeding up biological reactions.
