Which of the following act as catalysts of biological systems :

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Biological catalysts are enzymes, which are proteins that speed up biochemical reactions. Carboxypeptidase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes peptide bonds. Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that catalyzes the rapid interconversion of carbon dioxide and water to bicarbonate and protons. Wilkinson's catalyst is a synthetic coordination complex used in industrial hydrogenation, not a biological catalyst. Therefore, both carboxypeptidase and carbonic anhydrase act as catalysts in biological systems.
