[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
An enzyme serves as a place where a chemical reaction can occur because-
|
|
the enzyme is a substrate
|
|
|
the charge on the enzyme’s active site is the same as the charge on the substrates.
|
|
|
the enzyme is one of the reactants in the reaction
|
|
|
the shape of the substrates fits perfectly into the shape of the enzyme’s active site.
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The active site is a groove or pocket formed by the folding pattern of the protein..
Detailed explanation-2: -The place on the enzyme where the substrate fits-the lock that the key fits into-is called the active site. Like other proteins, enzymes also depend on structure to function properly. Enzyme structure is important because the shape of an enzyme allows only certain molecules to bind to an enzyme’s active site.
