An induced fit is a change in the shape of an enzyme which allows it to react effectively with a substrate. The reason for the alteration is to speed up a chemical reaction.

yeah lot of changes occurs!! enzyme is changed as enzyme substrate complex which is chemically different from the enzyme as soon as the substrate is attached with it...

The enzyme changes it's active site to create an optimal microenvironment for the substrate in question, in the process of induced fit.

Induced fit as the enzyme changes conformation, especially in the active site, to better bind the substrate.

What is the difference between the lock and key model versus the induced fit model of the enzyme substrate complex?

The lock and key model means that the substrate must perfectly fit the enzyme, and the enzyme does not change. The induced fit model is different as when the substrate fits together with the enzyme, the enzyme itself will change to either join substrates together or break a substrate down.

Is a substrate an enzyme?

NO. The enzyme acts on the substrate. The substrate is the chemical/compound being altered by the action of the enzyme. They are NOT the same.
