Explanation / Answer

18. Option A is correct.
A competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for binding to the active/catalytic site.

19. Option B is correct.
Pasteurization is not a sterilization process. It does not kill microorganisms.

20. Option B is correct.
An antiseptic is used to cleanse a face of acne-causing bacteria.

21. True
Heat can cause denaturation of enzymes.

22. Option B is correct.
Chlorine ions are added to disinfectant to make it more effective.
