The minimum energy that the reactant molecules acquire to get activated and form products is known as........

Assertion (A): Enzymes have active sites that hold substrate molecule for a chemical reaction . Reason (R) : Drugs compete with natural substrate by attaching covalently to active site of enzyme.

Assertion (A) : All collisions between the reactant molecules result in product formation . Reason (R) : The collision between molecules having sufficient amount of energy and proper orientations, results in the formation of compounds.

One molecule of an enzyme is able to catalyse conversion of two molecules of substrate into products in 5 mintutes. Ten molecules of enzyme and 25 molecules of substrate are mixed in a test tube. At the end of 10 minutes the test tube will have

One molecule of an enzyme is needed to convert 2 molecules of a substrate into products in 5 minutes. 10 molecules of the enzyme and 25 moleucles of the substrate are mixed in a test tube. After 10 minutes the test tube will be having.

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. IV. The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme

Assertion (A): Competitive inhibitors compete with natural substrate for their attachment on the active sites of enzymes. Reason (R) : In competitive inhibition, inhibitor binds to the allosteric site of the enzyme.

Assertion (A) : Non-competitive inhibitor inhibits the catalytic activity of enzyme by binding with its active site. Reason (R): Non-competitive inhibitor changes the shape of the active site in such a way that substrate can't recognise it

Identify the wrong statements (a) The substrate binds to active site of enzyme and not fitting into active site (b) The binding of substrate induces the enzyme to alter its shape (c ) Chemical bonds of substrate break down not to form now enzyme product complex (d) The enzyme releases the products of the reaction and run through catalytic cycle once again
