Question

multiple - choice question
which suffix in the name of a biomolecule indicates that it is an enzyme?
therm-
-ase
-ose
glyc-

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. A common naming convention for enzymes is to add the suffix "-ase" to the name of the substrate they act upon or the reaction they catalyze. For example, lactase acts on lactose. The other prefixes and suffixes listed do not indicate enzymes. "therm -" is related to heat, "-ose" is a suffix for sugars, "glyco -" is related to sugar - containing compounds, and "-ic" is a general chemical - related suffix.

Answer:

B. -ase
