Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After the enzyme and substrate bind together and perform the reaction, what does the substrate become?
A
a substrate
B
an enzyme
C
a product
D
an active site
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. The products then leave the active site of the enzyme.

Detailed explanation-2: -How does an enzyme convert a substrate to a product? Enzymes bind with chemical reactants called substrates. Two substrates might come together to create one larger molecule. The two substrates might enter a reacion and come out as two products.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the enzyme has attached to the substrate, the molecule is called the enzyme-substrate complex. For example, the sugar found in milk is called lactose. With the aid of the enzyme, lactase, the substrate, lactose, is broken down into two products, glucose and galactose.

Detailed explanation-4: -When an enzyme binds its substrate, it forms an enzyme-substrate complex. This complex lowers the activation energy of the reaction and promotes its rapid progression by providing certain ions or chemical groups that actually form covalent bonds with molecules as a necessary step of the reaction process.

Detailed explanation-5: -The enzyme-substrate complex definition is a temporary molecule formed when the substrate binds to the enzyme. When an enzyme binds to its substrate, it undergoes a conformational change or temporary change in shape. However, once the product(s) is released, the enzyme will regain its original shape.
