Consider the two statements:
Assertion (A): Iodine-KI reagent can be used to detect starch in a sample.
Reason (R): Starch can hold iodine molecules in its helical portion and starch-iodine is blue in colour.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain(A).
2. (A) is True but (R) is False.
3. Both (A) and (R) are False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).

Cellulose does not form blue colour with iodine because
1. It breaks down when iodine reacts with it.
2. It is a disaccharide.
3. It is a helical molecule.
4. It does not contain complex helices and hence cannot hold iodine molecules.

Given below are two statements:
 
Statement I: Low temperature preserves the enzyme in a temporarily inactive state whereas high temperature destroys enzymatic activity because proteins are denatured by heat.
Statement II: When the inhibitor closely resembles the substrate in its molecular structure and inhibits the activity of the enzyme, it is known as competitive inhibitor.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
4. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
