complex
The enzyme and substrate form an enzyme-substrate complex when they bind together in the proper orientation and alignment. This complex allows the enzyme to catalyze the conversion of the substrate into products.
An enzyme combines with a substrate to form a product through a series of chemical reactions. The substrate is the specific molecule that the enzyme acts upon, while the product is the end result of the enzyme catalyzing the reaction.

The part of the enzyme with a specific shape to bind with a specific substrate is called the active site. This is where the enzyme and substrate interact to form an enzyme-substrate complex, leading to catalysis of the reaction. The specificity of this interaction is crucial for the enzyme to carry out its biological function.
After a substrate enters the active site of an enzyme, it undergoes a conformational change to fit the substrate more closely. This induces a chemical reaction to occur, resulting in the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex.
A substrate is the molecule upon which an enzyme acts. It undergoes a chemical reaction to form a product with the help of the enzyme. Substrates typically bind to the active site of an enzyme.
The reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Or, A substance with which a enzyme binds itself and form a complex product, a chemical reaction takes place between enzyme and substrate.
D. substrate (a specific reactant acted upon by an enzyme is called the enzyme's 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.
When a substrate binds to an enzyme, they form an enzyme-substrate complex. This binding lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, making it easier for the reaction to proceed. Once the reaction is complete, the products are released and the enzyme is free to catalyze another reaction.
In the induced-fit model of enzymes, a substrate associates itself with which part of an enzyme?
The model you are referring to is the lock-and-key model of enzyme-substrate interaction. This model proposes that enzymes have specific active sites that perfectly fit the substrate, similar to how a lock fits a key. This precise fit allows for the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex and subsequent catalysis of the reaction.
