Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The molecules that are formed after the reaction of every enzyme action is called ____
A
the products.
B
the substrate.
C
the active site.
D
the catalyst.
E
the complex.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products. Almost all metabolic processes in the cell need enzyme catalysis in order to occur at rates fast enough to sustain life.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Substrates are the substances on which enzymes act. Enzymes are named by adding the suffix-ase to the name of the substrate that they modify (i.e., urease and tyrosinase), or the type of reaction they catalyze (dehydrogenase, decarboxylase).

Detailed explanation-4: -One of the important properties of enzymes is that they remain ultimately unchanged by the reactions they catalyze. After an enzyme is done catalyzing a reaction, it releases its products (substrates).
