Question

4 multiple choice 2 points enzymes often have names that end in: -ide -ose -ly -ase

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts. The naming convention for enzymes often involves adding the suffix -ase to the name of the substrate or the type of reaction they catalyze. For example, amylase acts on starch (amylose), and lipase acts on lipids.

• The suffix -ide is commonly used in naming chemical compounds like chlorides.
• The suffix -ose is used for naming sugars (e.g., glucose, fructose).
• The suffix -ly is not a standard suffix for enzyme naming.

Answer:

-ase
