Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After the substrate binds to the enzyme’s active site, the active site is altered to reach the
A
transition state.
B
allosteric site.
C
reaction path.
D
net amount of energy.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As a substrate binds to the active site, the active site changes shape a little, grasping the substrate more tightly and preparing to catalyze the reaction. After the reaction takes place, the products are released from the active site and diffuse away.

Detailed explanation-2: -The induced fit model states an substrate binds to an active site and both change shape slightly, creating an ideal fit for catalysis. When an enzyme binds its substrate it forms an enzyme-substrate complex.

Detailed explanation-3: -06) Which of the following terms refers to the process by which a substrate binds to an active site and alters the shape of that active site? Feedback: An induced fit is a consequence of the binding interactions taking place between a substrate and the active site.

Detailed explanation-4: -the induced fit model describes how the substrate is induced to undergo a slight alteration to achieve optimum fit with its enzyme. 3.

Detailed explanation-5: -Factors affecting enzyme activity Enzyme activity can be affected by a variety of factors, such as temperature, pH, and concentration. Enzymes work best within specific temperature and pH ranges, and sub-optimal conditions can cause an enzyme to lose its ability to bind to a substrate.
