| Assertion: | The starch-I2 is blue in colour. |
| Reason: | Starch forms helical secondary structures and can hold I2 molecules in the helical portion. |
| 1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| I: | In a polypeptide or a protein, amino acids are linked by a peptide bond. |
| II: | In a polysaccharide, the individual monosaccharides are linked by a glycosidic bond. |
| I: | has a primary structure |
| II: | has the secondary and the tertiary structure |
| 1. | Only I is correct |
| 2. | Only II is correct |
| 3. | Both I and II are correct |
| 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
| 1. | tertiary structure of an enzyme. |
| 2. | active site of an enzyme. |
| 3. | tertiary structure of an enzyme. |
| 4. | allosteric site on an enzyme. |
| 1. | will double |
| 2. | will decrease by half |
| 3. | will remain the same |
| 4. | will become zero and the reaction will stop |
| Assertion (A): | Enzyme-catalyzed reactions proceed at rates vastly higher than that of uncatalyzed ones. |
| Reason: | Enzymes require an optimum temperature and an optimum pH to work efficiently. |
| 1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| I: | the formation of an ‘ES’ complex is not obligatory. |
| II: | ES’ complex formation is a transient phenomenon. |
| 1. | Only I is correct |
| 2. | Only II is correct |
| 3. | Both I and II are correct |
| 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
| 1. | Enzymes generally function in a narrow range of temperature and pH. |
| 2. | Each enzyme shows its highest activity at a particular temperature and a pH called the optimum temperature and the optimum pH. |
| 3. | Activity declines both below and above the optimum value. |
| 4. | Low temperatures denature the enzyme; high temperatures temporarily inactivate the enzyme. |
