They actually bind to a substrate as the term reactant is usually used in chemistry. They fit into what we call an active site just like a key will fit into a lock. The key must be the correct key or the reaction will not occur. So the enzyme is said to be specific for that substrate.
Enzymes are proteins that have a very specific structure. The region on the surface of an enzyme that is responsible for binding and converting the subtract into the product is called the active site.
Enzymes attach to things called substrates to help speed up the reaction. Only certain enzymes match the shape of certain substrates.
substrate binds to the active site o the enzyme
The enzyme's active site binds to the substrate.
both substrate and competitive inhibitor
To cause a speedy reaction.
active site
enzymes are molecules that help break own your food
i think it's enzymes
Substrates don't help enzymes to work. Without a substrate, an enzyme would have nothing to work on. A substrate is the substance acted on by an enzyme.
Enzymes help in digestion of food by catalyzing the biochemcal reactions between food molecules and chemicals that helps in digestion. Enzymes speed up the biochemical reactions and act as catalysts.
Much faster. For example, there are enzymes that help exchange O2 (oxygen molecules) and CO2 (carbon-dioxide molecules). In your body, this happens in an instant, but without enzymes this process would take minutes. So without enzymes you would suffocate.

Im not here to answer your homework questions for Mrs Gerehearts class. LOLOL

true
True.

Substrates (the physical reactants in the reaction) and/or cofactors (additional molecules which help the reaction)

they help the virus attach to host celle Gradpoint/novanet ;)
Digestive enzymes break down macromolecules into smaller, more soluble products of digestion. Proteases, lipases, amylase are some of these enzymes that digest particular substrates. Enzymes are catalysts, so without them, nutrients would not be digested quick enough for us to survive. They are quite literally, the difference between life and death.
Molecules preform a few functions. The most important function is to layer the cells.
