Which of the Following is NOT a Characteristic of Metabolon

Question

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of metabolon?
A)separate units of enzymes
B)discrete multi-enzyme complex
C)soluble enzymes associated into stable multi-enzyme complexes
D)membrane-bound multi-enzyme systems

Accepted Answer

Metabolons are characterized by soluble enzymes associated into stable multi-enzyme complexes or membrane-bound multi-enzyme systems. The term "discrete multi-enzyme complex" is also used to describe metabolons, so B and C are both characteristics of a metabolon. However, the presence of separate units of enzymes is not typical of metabolons.
