Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes can be classified into 7 categories according to the type of reaction they catalyse. These categories are oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, ligases, and translocases. Out of these, oxidoreductases, transferases and hydrolases are the most abundant forms of enzymes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes are actually classified into seven classes, namely oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, ligases, and translocases. The classification is related to the catalyzed reactions.
