What is a substrate that fits into an area of an enzyme?
The substrate fits inside the active site of the enzyme. when it fits perfectly its called " lock and key"
What is the place where the substrate attaches to the enzyme?
The active site of an enzyme is the site where substrates undergo the reaction specfic to that enzyme.
What is the surface region of an enzyme into which substrate molecule fits?
That is the active site. Substrate binds to it
When a substrate fits into an active site of an enzyme what is formed?
enzyme- substrate complex
The part of the enzyme into which the substrate fits is called the?
isomer position
Which describes a model of a process in which the substrate fits into the active site to form a substrate enzyme compound?
lock-and-key model
What happens after a substrate binds to an enzyme?
Substrate a reactant molecule that binds to an enzyme. It has a specific shape that is complementary in shape to the active site of the enzyme. Product the substance or substances produced by the reaction between the enzyme and substrate.
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 happens at the active site of an enzyme?
the substrate bonds to the enzyme at the 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 does a substrate do?
A subtrate is a reactant an enzyme acts off of. This fits into the active site and turns into the products
