At physiological pH, the amino acid exists as a zwitter ion because:
1. It has no net charge.
2. It has a positive and a negative charge at different parts of the molecule.
3. It can donate a proton to the surrounding medium.
4. It can accept a proton from the surrounding medium.

Which statement correctly describes the impact of temperature on enzyme activity?
1. Enzyme activity decreases indefinitely as temperature increases due to increased kinetic energy of the substrates. 
2. Enzyme activity increases until an optimum temperature is reached, beyond which activity declines rapidly due to denaturation. 
3. Enzyme activity is independent of temperature changes within the living organism’s permissible range. 
4. High temperatures always increase enzyme stability and, therefore, enhance enzyme activity.
