Question 2 of 34
Biomolecules
Melonate inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria by inhibiting the activity of:
AI-generated explanation. Check against your textbook.
Explanation:Melonate inhibits the activity of succinic dehydrogenase, a key enzyme in the TCA cycle and electron transport chain of many bacteria. Blocking this enzyme disrupts aerobic respiration and energy production, thereby hindering bacterial growth. Among the options, succinic dehydrogenase (option 2) is the correct target. Dinitrogenase (nitrogenase) is involved in nitrogen fixation, amylase breaks down starch, and lipase breaks down fats; these are not the primary targets of melonate in NCERT-based bacterial physiology.
๐ง Did You Know?Succinic dehydrogenase also functions as complex II of the mitochondrial/ bacterial electron transport chain, linking citric acid cycle to energy production.
๐ก NCERT Memory Line:Enzymes of respiration like succinic dehydrogenase are essential for energy release in bacteria and play a role in inhibiting growth when blocked.
Question 3 of 34
Biomolecules
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:
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.
