BIOCHEMISTRY

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Enzymes provide a site where reactants called substrates can be brought together in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The site is called the
A
enzyme substrate complex.
B
reaction site.
C
active site.
D
lock and key.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Enzymes provide a site where reactants called substrates can be brought together in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The site is called the Active site.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The active site is a groove or crevice on an enzyme in which a substrate binds to facilitate the catalyzed chemical reaction. Enzymes are typically specific because the conformation of amino acids in the active site stabilizes the specific binding of the substrate.
