The correct matching pairs are:

1) - B)

2)- E)

3) - A)

4) - F)

Explanation:

Transferases (B): Transeferases is the class of enzyme that catalyzes reactions involving the transfer of certain functional groups. (1)

Example: Transaminase transfers nitrogenous groups

Isomerases (E): Isomerases is the class of enzyme that catalyzes isomerization reactions and intramolecular rearrangements. (2)

Example: Triosephosphate isomerase interconverts aldoses and ketoses

Oxidoreductases (A): Oxidoreductases is a class of enzyme that catalyzes redox reactions (3) which involves the simultaneous transfer of electron.

Example: Alcohol oxidoreductases acts on the alcohol functional group

Ligases (F): Ligases is a class of enzyme that catalyzes reactions involving chemical bond formation between two molecules. (4)

Example: DNA ligase joins DNA fragments

Mantle convection is the slow creepingmotion of earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface.[1][2] the earth's surface lithosphere, which rides atop the asthenosphere (the two components of the upper mantle), is divided into a number of plates that are continuously being created and consumed at their opposite plate boundaries. accretion occurs as mantle is added to the growing edges of a plate, associated with seafloor spreading. this hot added material cools down by conduction and convection of heat. at the consumption edges of the plate, the material has thermally contracted to become dense, and it sinks under its own weight in the process of subduction usually at an ocean trench.[3]this subducted material sinks through the earth's interior. some subducted material appears to reach the lower mantle,[4] while in other regions, this material is impeded from sinking further, possibly due to a phase transition from spinel to silicate perovskiteand magnesiowustite, an endothermic reaction.[5]the subducted oceanic crust triggers volcanism, although the basic mechanisms are varied. volcanism may occur due to processes that add buoyancy to partially melted mantle causing an upward flow due to a decrease in density of the partial melt.secondary forms of convection that may result in surface volcanism are postulated to occur as a consequence of intraplate extension[6] and mantle plumes.[7]it is because the mantle can convect that the tectonic plates are able to move around the earth's surface.[8]mantle convection seems to have been much more active during the hadean period, resulting in gravitational sorting of heavier molten iron, and nickel elements and sulphides in the core, and lighter silicate minerals in the mantle.
