Arrange the steps of catalytic action of an enzyme in order an choose the right option (A) The enzyme releases the products of the reaction and the enzyme is free to bind to another substrate (B) The active site of enzyme is in close proximity of the substrate and breaks the chemical bonds of the substrate (C) The binding of substrate induces the enzyme to alter its shape fitting more tightly around the substrate (D) The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme fitting into the active site

Arrange the steps of catalytic action of an enzyme in order and select the correct option I. The enzyme releases the products of the reaction and the enzyme is free to bind to another substrate II. The active site of enzyme is in close proximity of the substrate and breaks the chemical bonds of the substrate III. The binding of substrate induces the enzyme to alter its shape fitting more tightly around substrate. VI. The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme

Assertion : Emulsification is necessary for the digestion of fat. Reason : After fats are emulsified, the action of enzyme amylase gets significantly increase.

One of the effects of Gibberellins is to induce the synthesis of amylase enzyme which causes the break down of starch and provides nourishment to the embryo in the seed. This phenomenon leads to the germination of seed. The hormone antagonist to this phenomenon is

Assertion .Emulsification is necessary for fat digestion. Reason. After emulsification,enzyme amylase becomes active
