Show answer and explanation Correct answer: (A) a–iii;b–i; (B) c–iv;d–ii
Explanation Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes oxidation/reduction; alanine racemase interconverts stereoisomers; lipase hydrolyzes lipid ester bonds; hexokinase transfers phosphate from ATP to a hexose. Thus a–iii, b–i, c–iv, d–ii, and **A, B** are correct.
