Enzymes are classified and named according to the<u> types of reactions they catalyze.</u>

Explanation:

According to the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology nomenclature of enzyme classification, enzymes are classified depending upon the reactions they catalyze and how the reaction transforms the substrate and forms new products.

Based on the reactions:

Addition reaction (removal of a water molecule): hydrases or hydrolases like esterases, nucleases etc

Electron transfer reaction: Oxidases and dehydrogenases

Radical transfer reaction: Transglycosidases, transaminases, etc

Splitting or C-C bond formation: Desmolases

Structural or geometrical change: Isomerases

Hydrolysis of phosphate bonds to join molecules: Ligases

Based on the general principle of recommendations, enzymes are suffixed with –ase  depending upon the catalytic reaction and substrate.

The mass of a star can be determined by studying _____.
Lilit [14]

<u>Answer</u>:

The mass of a star can be determined by studying binary star systems.

<u>Explanation</u>:

In this system it consists of two stars, revolving round the same bary-centre. The systems having two or may say more than two are called as the multiple star system. This zone is also a habitable zone, here the water exists in the liquid form. We could have sometime seen the two stars together. They are also very capable of strengthening the terrestrial planets inside the stable orbital ranges. They have generally two orbits like P-type as well as circumbinary.
