Explanation / Answer

16. Allosteric regulation is the regulation of enzyme by an effector molecule by binding to it oj the site ither than active site of it.

Option E is the correct answer.

All other are the processes whih in some or the other way regulates the activity of the enzyme this are related to allosteric regulation. But enzyme shape is not a process. Though it is relevant for allosteric regulation. But this term in particular does not refer to the allosteric regulation.

17. Option C ie the correct answer. As substrate are the molecules on which enzymes act. They differ from enzyme to enzyme. Fir example for amylase it's carbohydrate, for lipase it's fats.. etc.

18. Activation energy is the minimum energy which the reacting agents must possess for the reaction to occur.

Option A is the wrong statement as catalysts are the ones which decrease the activation energy to make reaction faster.

19. option C is the correct answer. As with increasing temperature activity increases. When it reaches upto optimum and temperature is further increased then enzyme gets denatured and thus activity decreases abruptly.
