Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isozymes are different forms of the same enzyme that are produced in different tissues, allowing for specialized functions to occur. They can differ in their amino acid sequence, but still catalyze the same reaction. Option A is incorrect because isozymes are not two different enzymes, but rather different forms of the same enzyme. Option B is incorrect because enzyme inhibition does not necessarily involve isozymes. Option D is incorrect because option C is true.
