Answer and Explanation:

Enzymes are organic catalysts which are protein in nature. There are two types of naming enzymes:

<h3>Trivial naming</h3>

This method involves giving enzymes names based on the names of the persons who discovered them. The names of such enzymes end with the suffix-in, for example, pepsin, trypsin. Some of these names have been retained to date.

Enzyme Nomenclature by Enzyme Commission

This is the modern method of naming enzymes. The suffix-ase is added to the substrate or the reaction which the enzymes catalyses. Every enzyme code consists of the letters "EC" followed by the enzyme. For example

EC 1 oxidoreductases- oxidoreduction reactions

EC 2 transferases- transfer of a functional group

EC 3 hydrolases- catalyse hydrolytic cleaving

EC 4 lyases - adding groups to double bonds. e.g., C-C,C-O

EC 5 isomerases - catalyse structural changes in a molecule

EC 6 ligases - joining of two molecules

would you expect plants that normally live in the dessert to exhibit more pronounced phototropism than forest dwelling plants?
