Regarding factors affecting enzyme activity:
 
I: Low temperature preserves the enzyme in a temporarily inactive state whereas high temperature destroys enzymatic activity.
II: With the increase in substrate concentration, the velocity of the enzymatic reaction rises at first.
 
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
 
Assertion (A): Low temperature destroys enzymatic activity.
Reason (R): Proteins are denatured when exposed to low temperatures.

In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.

The rate of enzyme action decreases at higher temperature [after a certain value] because the increased heat
1. changes the pH of the system
2. alters the active site of the enzyme
3. neutralizes the acids and bases in the system
4. increases the concentration of the enzyme

An enzyme catalysed reaction is running optimally at 40oC. If the temperature is reduced to 20oC, the rate of reaction is expected to:
1. Double 2. Half
3. Increase four time 4. Reduce to a quarter
