Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Enzymes bind substrate at a place called the ____
A
Active site
B
Complex site
C
Reaction site
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The part of the enzyme where the substrate binds is called the active site (since that’s where the catalytic “action” happens). A substrate enters the active site of the enzyme. This forms the enzyme-substrate complex.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes bind substrates at key locations in their structure called active sites. They are typically highly specific and only bind certain substrates for certain reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -In biology and biochemistry, the active site is the region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction. The active site consists of amino acid residues that form temporary bonds with the substrate (binding site) and residues that catalyse a reaction of that substrate (catalytic site).

Detailed explanation-4: -As the location where an enzyme binds with a substate is where the chemical reaction happens, the site is called the active site. At this site, a temporary bond is formed between the enzyme’s catalytic site and the substrate’s binding site.

Detailed explanation-5: -A binding site is a region on a protein, DNA or RNA, to which a ligand can bind. Enzymes are proteins. An active site is a region on an enzyme to which the substrates can bind in order to undergo a chemical reaction. This specific region also has a binding site along with a catalytic site.
