BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -MCQs (0.5 Mark each) A. Each enzyme only has 1 substrate that will fit its active site. What is this called? Reusablility.

Detailed explanation-2: -Specificity is a property of the enzyme and describes how restrictive the enzyme is in its choice of substrate; a completely specific enzyme would have only one substrate.

Detailed explanation-3: -A substrate enters the active site of the enzyme. This forms the enzyme-substrate complex.The reaction then occurs, converting the substrate into products and forming an enzyme products complex.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each enzyme typically binds only one substrate. Enzymes are not consumed during a reaction; instead they are available to bind new substrates and catalyze the same reaction repeatedly.
