Three of the following statements about enzymes are correct and one is wrong, which one is wrong
1. Most enzymes are proteins but some are lipids
2. Enzymes require optimum pH for maximal activity
3. Enzymes are denatured at high temperatures but in certain exceptional organisms they are effective even at temperatures 80°- 90°C

In curve of enzyme catalyzed reaction, the value of velocity of enzyme reaction at point A will be

1. $\frac{1}{2}{V}_{max}$ and velocity may increase by increasing temperature
2.  $\frac{1}{2}{V}_{max}$ and velocity may increase by increasing substrate
3.$\frac{1}{2}{V}_{max}$ and velocity may increase by increasing by catalyst
4. $\frac{1}{2}{V}_{max}$ and velocity remain constant even changing any factor in to the medium.

Which one of the following is a non-reducing carbohydrate?

Select the option which is not correct with respect to enzyme action:
1. Substrate binds with enzyme at its active site.
2. Addition of a lot of succinate does not reverse the inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate.
3. A non-competitive inhibitor binds the enzyme at a site distinct from that which binds the substrate.
4. Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase.
