How does the lock and key help analogy explain enzymes?
just like keys will open a particular lock, enzymes will catalyse only a particular reaction.
What is the lock-and-key principle of enzyme action?
The lock is the enzyme and it's active site is where you put the key in. The key is like the substrate that comes and binds to the active site, or the key that fits into the lock.
Do enzymes change shape to move substances across the plasma membrane?
Enzymes and the substrates they work on fit like a lock and key, if you change the shape of the key, the lock won't open. An enzyme whose shape changes is no longer able to activate the reaction of the substrate.
How enzymes work with a lock and key method?
Enzyme substrate 'lock and key'.Enzymes can work by:attracting and sticking to the reacting molecules making it easier for them to meetproviding an alternative route for the reaction with a lower activation energy , so that a greater proportion of the collisions have more than enough energy to succeedholding the molecules the right way round so that the reactive groups are brought together.
What is lock and key?
Lock and Key is one of the theories behind how enzymes fit together with substrates and act as biological catalysts that speed up a reaction in the body. The enzyme usually allows this to happen at much lower temperatures than normal and whithin the range of the animals body. The lock and key refers to the tight specific fitting of the substrate with the enzyme so that specific enzymes can target specific substrates.
What is considered a model for enzymes actions?
the answer is lock and key model .
What type of model does an enzyme work like?
enzymes work on lock and key model and induced fit model.
What does it mean to say that a protein functions by a lock and key model?
The lock and key model was suggested by Emil Fischer in 1894. It stated that enzymes and substrates possess specific complementary shapes that fit exactly into one another.
What is lock and key model?
in order to explain the mechanism of enzymes action a German chemist Emil fischer,in 184,proposed the lock and key model.According to this model both the enzymes and the substrate possess specific complementary geometric shapes that fit exactly into one another.This model explain enzyme specificity.
How the lock and key model and the induced fit model differ?
According to lock and key model both the enzymes and the substrate possess specific geometrical shapes that fit exactly into one another. WHILE According to the induced fit model enzymes are more flexible structures and their active site is reshaped as substrate interacts with the enzymes.

Why do enzymes have an active site?
The structure of an enzymes and its active site determine which substrates will work for the enzyme. This is called the lock and key method. The active site is the lock and the substrate is the key.
How does the lock and key help analogy explain enzymes?
just like keys will open a particular lock, enzymes will catalyse only a particular reaction.
What is the structural classification of enzymes?
I believe it is a "Key in a lock" formation
Which substances fit together like a lock and key?
enzymes and substrates
