Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Kinase
Concept:

Enzymes are strictly categorized based on the specific type of chemical reaction they catalyze.

Solution:

  • Enzymes that transfer a phosphate group from a high-energy molecule (like ATP) to a substrate are universally called Kinases (e.g., Hexokinase or Phosphofructokinase in glycolysis).


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Isomerases: rearrange atoms within a single molecule.
  • Dehydrogenases: remove hydrogen atoms (involved in redox reactions).
  • Decarboxylases: remove carboxyl groups, releasing \( CO_2 \).

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
