This refers to the hypothesis proposed by Emil Fischer in 1894 but confirmed until the 20th century. Fischer proposed that the specificity of an enzyme (the lock) for its substrate (the key) arises from their geometrically complementary shapes. More specifically, the noncovalent forces through which substrates and other molecules bind to the enzyme are identical in character to the forces that dictate the conformations of the proteins themselves. Both involve van der Waals, electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions.
A substrate-binding site consists of an interaction or cleft on the surface of an enzyme molecule that is complementary in shape to the surface (geometrical complementarity). Molecules that differ in shape of functional group distribution from the substrate cannot productively bind to the enzyme; that is, they cannot form enzyme-substrate complexes that lead to the formation of products.
Enzyme A reacts with less substrate than B. [APEX]
All enzymes have optimal conditons, when it will work at its best. For example, if the temprature is too high the protein can become denatured. This is alos the case with Ph. Substrate level also affects enzyma activity because the more substartes there are, the more enxymes can bind to them.
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.
They occur under the strict and highly specific action of Enzymes.
Question is to be edited. What isreactions.......Not reactions it has to be reactants.Reactants are those which come into reaction and products are those the outcome of such reaction.CH4 + 2 O2 gives CO2 + H2O CH4 , O2 are reactants. CO2 , H2O are products.
in order to explain the mechanism of enzymes action a German chemist Emil fischer,in 184,proposed the lock and key model.According to this model both the enzymes and the substrate possess specific complementary geometric shapes that fit exactly into one another.This model explain enzyme specificity.

The enzymes are so specific to their action because they have substrate binding site which has three dimensional configuration which binds to the complementarity three dimensional substrate molecule and hence the enzymes are specific in binding the site and their action In case if the structural configuration of the enzyme changes the substrate is unable to bind at that site and the reaction does not take place

they are efficient. their action is affected by the environment. they are specific.
they are efficient. their action is affected by the environment. they are specific.
These are the modes: 1. Lock and Key hypothesis 2. Induced Fit Hypothesis
enzyme B stays effective at higher temperatures than enzymes A
The lock is the enzyme and it's active site is where you put the key in. The key is like the substrate that comes and binds to the active site, or the key that fits into the lock.
Enzymes act only on a specific substrate due to the active site of the enzymes fits perfectly with the substrate. Like 2 puzzle pieces, they can only go together and not with anything else. Enzymes catalyze or help a reaction take place. They bind substrates and then help position them in order that the chemical reaction between these substrates can take place. If they bound things other than the substrates they would be much less efficient in catalyzing the reactions.

The substrate is the molecule(s) that an enzyme works on
