Proteins (enzymes) are molecules that are build up by amino acids. Activity of an enzyme is largely sspecifi to its three dimensional (3D) structure. The active site of an enzyme where substrate is converted to product is the crucial region that carry out catalysis. Any conformational changes in these crucial regions will reflect tremendously on its activity (may abolish completely or increase the activity). Because change in active site will not accomodate the substrate thereby no product formation.

Why will only certain substrate molecules fit into the active site?
It will only bind with the enzymes active site of the shapes are complimentary and enzymes are very specific
What is the name of an enzyme only acts on one substrate?
Most enzymes are substrate specific because they have a specific shapes active site in which only a specific substrate can fit.
Are enzymes carbohydrates or lipids or proteins?
The great majority of enzymes are proteins.Proteins are well suited to the job of catalysis, as they can fold into specific three-dimensional shapes that complement the shapes of their substrates.A few enzymes are RNA. For example, the activity of ribosomes depends in part on the catalytic activity of ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
How do mitochondria break down nutrients?
Enzymes are used for it. There are specific enzymes
Why is it important for plants to hold enzymes in their fuctional shapes?
so the plants will not die
Enzymes have specific what that determine their function?
Shapes
Enzymes have specific that determine their function?
Enzymes ARE specific for their substrate. For example: lipase breaks down lipids, not sugars.

Do enzymes have three dimensional shapes?
Yes. Enzymes are like little blobs. They are three-dimensional, but microscopic in size.
Is it true or false that Enzymes interact with specific substrates?
Enzymes does interact with specific substrates. This is used in science.
Why is it important for plants to hold enzymes in the their functional shapes?
There is thing that do the function and perform a vasendectomy on the enzymes so therefore negating guardies

What does enzymes mean in science terms?
The active site is the functional part of an enzyme. An enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction. Enzymes are proteins. Enzymes help decrease the activation energy Specific enzymes carry out specific biological functions. Enzymes have an active site that fits a specific substrate.
What is an enzyme marker?
some enzymes present in certain organelles only , such specific enzymes are called marker enzymes
