What problem arises in using alitame as artificial sweetener?
Alitame is a high potency artificial sweetener.Therefore, it is difficult to control the sweetness of the food to which it is added.
Assertion (A): Receptor proteins show selectivity for one chemical messenger over the other.
Reason (R): Chemical messenger binds to the receptor site and inhibits its natural function.

What happens when the bond formed between an enzyme and an inhibitor is a strong covalent bond?
Assertion (A): Receptors are crucial to body's communication process. Reason (R): Receptors are proteins.
Assertion (A): Chemical messenger gives message to the cell without entering the cell.
Reason (R): Chemical messenger is received at the binding site of receptor proteins.
Synthetic detergents have advantage over usual soaps as far as cleansing power is concerned. But use of synthetic detergents over a long time creates environmental pollution. How can the pollution caused by synthetic detergents be minimized? Classify the detergents according to their chemical nature.
