Solution
Sites different from active site of enzyme where a molecule can bind and affect the active site is called allosteric site. Some drugs may also bind at this site.

What happens when the bond formed between an enzyme and an inhibitor is a strong covalent bond?
Assertion: Enzymes have active sites that hold substrate molecule for a chemical reaction.
Reason: Drugs compete with natural substrate by attaching covalently to the active site of enzyme.
Assertion: Competitive inhibitors compete with natural substrate for their attachment on the active sites of enzymes.
Reason: In competitive inhibition, inhibitor binds to the allosteric site of the enzyme.
Assertion: Non-competitive inhibitor inhibits the catalyic activity of enzyme by binding with its active site.
Reason: Non-competitive inhibitor changes the shape of the active site in such a way that substrate can’t recognise it.
