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.

∙ 13y agoThere are two ways an enzyme can interact with a substrate one being the lock and key method and the other the induced fit method. In the lock and key method the substrate fits exactly into the enzyme and join to form what is known as an enzyme-substrate complex. However in the induced fit method the substrate does not fit exactly into the enzyme, but is very similar to the shape of the enzyme, so the enzyme has to slightly alter its shape to allow the substrate to join,once the reaction is complete the enzyme will return to its original shape ready to be used again.

The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?
A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a?
The substrates are converted into products, which are released.
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 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 to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction
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.
The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?
A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.
When properly aligned the enzyme and substrate form an enzyme substrate?
complex
What is the name given to the substance that an enzyme works on?
An enzyme will alter its substrate although the specific substrate depends on the enzyme.
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a?
The substrates are converted into products, which are released.
In an enzyme catalyzed reaction what is the reactant called?
Generally in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the reactant is called the substrate, which in association with the enzyme forms the product.
Reactant affected by an enzyme?
If the reactant is affected by an enzyme, it then referred to as a SUBSTRATE.
Who does the substrate work on enzyme action?
The substrate is the molecule(s) that an enzyme works on
what is a substrate in an enzyme?
A substrate is when the enzyme can only join onto certain substances
