Mitochondria have their own DNA ā evidence they were once independent bacteria absorbed by early cells.
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 inhibition. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the given statements:Statement I: - Low temperature preserves the enzyme in a temporarily inactive state. - High temperature destroys enzymatic activity because proteins are denatured by heat. - This statement is true because enzymes, which are proteins, can become inactive at low temperatures and denature at high temperatures.Statement II:
