Detailed explanation-1: -The name of most enzymes end with “ase". For example, a phosphatase is an enzyme that removes a phosphate group from a protein. Conversely, a kinase is a protein that adds a phosphate group to a protein. Amylase is an enzyme in our mouth that breaks down the carbohydrate starch.
Detailed explanation-2: -The names of most enzymes end in the suffix-ase.
Detailed explanation-3: -The suffix-ase is used in biochemistry to form names of enzymes. The most common way to name enzymes is to add this suffix onto the end of the substrate, e.g. an enzyme that breaks down peroxides may be called peroxidase; the enzyme that produces telomeres is called telomerase.
Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrase breaks down carbohydrates into sugars. Lipase breaks down fats into fatty acids. Protease breaks down protein into amino acids. 12-May-2021
