A molecule that enzymes work on is?
|
an ensyme
|
|
a substrate
|
|
a product
|
|
an active site
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are proteins that act upon substrate molecules and decrease the activation energy necessary for a chemical reaction to occur by stabilizing the transition state. This stabilization speeds up reaction rates and makes them happen at physiologically significant rates.
Detailed explanation-2: -The molecule that the catalyst/enzyme acts on is called the substrate. The substrate will bind the enzyme on its active site. The enzyme will then lower the activation energy of the reaction, allowing it to proceed until the final product is formed by the enzyme.
