Assertion (A): | The effect of competitive inhibition can be overcome by increasing the substrate of the enzyme. |
Reason (R): | The presence of a competitive inhibitor can decrease the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reaction by blocking the substrate from binding to the enzyme. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |

3. pKa value
4. Q10
Consider the given two statements
Assertion (A): | In the absence of carbonic anhydrase, carbon dioxide will not react with water to produce carbonic acid. |
Reason (R): | Enzymes are the cause for the reactions to take place. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True, (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False, (R) is False. |
I: | is a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine. |
II: | is a primary component of cell walls in fungi. |
I: | All enzymes are proteins. |
II: | All proteins are enzymes. |
1. | They are primarily involved in growth and development. |
2. | They are essential for the plant's primary metabolic processes. |
3. | They play a key role in the plant's defense mechanisms. |
4. | They are directly involved in photosynthesis. |
Assertion (A): | In competitive enzyme inhibition, the inhibitor binds to the active site of the enzyme, preventing the substrate from binding. |
Reason (R): | Competitive inhibitors structurally resemble the substrate, allowing them to bind reversibly to the active site and reduce the enzyme's activity without affecting the maximal velocity (Vmax) of the reaction. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
3. | (A) is True, (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False, (R) is True |
