What is the active site of an enzyme?
The most important part of the enzyme- where the chemical reactions happen. Substrates fit into the active site and are broken down or catalysed into end products (this is called the lock and key model).
Explain the process of digestion if a student puts a plain cracker in their mouth, chews it, and holds the mush in their mouth. Mention the pH, temperature, enzyme, substrate and products. ?

What happens during allosteric inhibition?
Allosteric (noncompetitive) inhibition results from a change in the shape of the active site when an inhibitor binds to an allosteric site. When this occurs the substrate cannot bind to its active site due to the fact that the active site has changed shape and the substrate no longer fits. Allosteric activation results when the binding of an activator molecule to an allosteric site causes a change in the active site that makes it capable of binding substrate.
A part substance or element that lies beneath and supports another part substance or element the reactant in reactions catalyzed by enzymes?
Substrate
Peroxidase is an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide in cells It accomplishes this because of its structure What part of the enzyme is involved in catalytic activity?
active site
What is the part of the enzyme into which the substance fits?
Where the substrate and the enzyme fit is called the active site. There are substance that can inhibit this fit.Natural poisons are often enzyme inhibitors that have evolved to defend a plant or animal against predators. These natural toxins include some of the most poisonous compounds known.
What is the part of the enzyme that binds with the substrate?
The part of the enzyme where the substrate attaches itself to is known as the "active site". The active site of an enzyme is a part of the molecule that has just the right shape and functional groups to bind to one of the reacting molecules. The reacting molecule that binds to the enzyme is called the substrate.
What is the part of the enzyme called that has a specific shape to fit with a specific substrate?

How does an enzyme recognize its substrate?
On one part of an enzyme is an active site (which is what the substrate binds to) that is shaped a certain way, say a triangle. A substrate that's in the shape of a square won't fit onto the triangle/the enzyme - but a substrate that has an indent in the shape of a triangle will. The way an enzyme recognizes its substrate is if it can attach itself to the enzyme's active site.
What part of the enzyme does the substrate lock on to?

Explain the difference between substrate and active site?
Substrate is the reactant in which an enzyme reacts out. While the active Site is a special region of the enzyme where the substrate binds forming a temporary enzyme-substrate complex.
What is the active site of an enzyme?
The most important part of the enzyme- where the chemical reactions happen. Substrates fit into the active site and are broken down or catalysed into end products (this is called the lock and key model).
What is the name given to the part of an enzyme where the substrate comes into contact it?
The active site
What is active site?
the part of an enzyme that interacts with the substrate Does this help, i hope it does :)
Substrate attaches to what part of an enzyme?
In the induced-fit model of enzymes, a substrate associates itself with which part of an enzyme?
What does inhibitor do to enzyme activity?
AnswerWhat does inhibitor do to enzyme activity?They prevent the reactions from happening. Non-competative inhibitors alter the shape of the active site so that the substrate no longer fits, and competative inhibitors block the active site.
Give 2 explanations for the fact that only certain substrate molecules will fit into this part of the enzyme molecule?
A substrate molecule will only fit into the active site if it is a complimentary shape. Also the amino acids that make up an enzyme have positively and negatively charged chemical groups so in orderr for a substrate to fit its active site any electrical charges on the substrate molecule must not be repelled by like charges on the enzyme so the charged groups on the enzyme molecule and substrate molecule must attract one another
