BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The molecule or substance that the enzyme reacts with is called the “substrate.” The reaction takes place between the enzyme and the substrate at the active site. After the reaction is complete, the new molecule or substance is released by the enzyme. This new substance is called the “product."

Detailed explanation-3: -In order for a product molecule to be generated, a substrate molecule must first bind to the active site of an enzyme and be transformed into a product molecule. An example of a product molecule produced by an enzyme is phosphoenolpyruvate produced by the enzyme enolase.

Detailed explanation-4: -After the reaction, the products are released from the enzyme’s active site. This frees up the enzyme so it can catalyze additional reactions. The activities of enzymes also depend on the temperature, ionic conditions, and the pH of the surroundings.
