Correct option is (b) False

The explanation is: The above statement is false. The kinetic behavior of a bound enzyme differs significantly from that of the same enzyme because of the following reasons:

Property of the enzymes may get modified by the immobilization protocols.

Different protocols may different effects on enzyme due to conformational alteration in enzyme or due to nature of support.
