Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the meaning of these terms:[E], [S], [ES]
A
Respectively for Enzyme’s effectiveness, Substrate, and complex of enzyme-substrate concentration
B
Respectively for Enzyme, Substrate, and Enzyme-Substrate concentration
C
Respectively for Enzyme, Substrate and Product concentration
D
Respectively form Product concentration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An enzyme (E) is typically a protein molecule that promotes a reaction of another molecule, its substrate (S). This binds to the active site of the enzyme to produce an enzyme-substrate complex ES, and is transformed into an enzyme-product complex EP and from there to product P, via a transition state ES*.

Detailed explanation-2: -This accomplishment was based on two assumptions: (i) the enzyme–substrate complex (ES) is in equilibrium with free enzyme and substrate in solution; i.e. E + S⇌ES and. (ii) the formation of this complex is essential for product formation; i.e. ES
