Questions and Answers

What are enzymes?

Nucleic acids that accelerate the metabolic processes of an organism

Proteins produced in living cells that speed up biochemical reactions (correct)

Carbohydrates extracted from cells and used to catalyze metabolic processes

Lipids produced in living cells

What are the limitations associated with the production of enzymes from animal and plant sources?

Unlimited quantities, easy isolation and purification, low cost, and no contamination

High quantities, easy purification, low cost, and no risk of contamination

Limited quantities, difficulties in isolating and purifying enzymes, cost factor, and contamination (correct)

No limitations, easy extraction, cost-effective, and no risk of contamination

Why is microbial production of enzymes preferred over production from animal and plant sources?

Animal and plant sources do not contain the necessary enzymes for industrial applications

Animal and plant sources are no longer available for enzyme extraction

Microbial production yields higher quantities of enzymes with less purification required

Microbial production is cheaper and less risky in terms of contamination (correct)
