Transferases move?
A
Functional groups from one molecule to another
B
H2O2
C
sucrose
D
fructose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A transferase is any one of a class of enzymes that catalyse the transfer of specific functional groups (e.g. a methyl or glycosyl group) from one molecule (called the donor) to another (called the acceptor).

Detailed explanation-2: -Transferases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a functional group from one molecule to another.

Detailed explanation-3: -These enzymes, called transferases, move functional groups from one molecule to another. For example, alanine aminotransferase shuffles the alpha‐amino group between alanine and aspartate: Other transferases move phosphate groups between ATP and other compounds, sugar residues to form disaccharides, and so on.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transferases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a group of atoms, such as amine, carboxyl, carbonyl, methyl, acyl, glycosyl, and phosphoryl from a donor substrate to an acceptor compound.

Detailed explanation-5: -A transferase is an enzyme that aids in the transferring of a functional group from one molecule to another. The functionl group detaches from the donor molecule and forms a bond with the acceptor through catalytic pathways. The donor molecule is usually small non-protein molecules known as coenzymes.
