Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The region on the surface of the enzyme that the substrate binds to is the
A
active site.
B
activation energy.
C
lock-and-key model.
D
catalysis.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In biology and biochemistry, the active site is the region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -The enzyme active site is the location on the enzyme surface where substrates bind, and where the chemical reaction catalyzed by the enzyme occurs.

Detailed explanation-3: -A substrate binds to a specific region on an enzyme known as the active site, where the substrate can be converted to product. The substrate binds to the enzyme primarily through hydrogen bonding and other electrostatic interactions.
