Question

1. in the box below, predict the shape of the enzyme after the reaction has taken place.. draw it and explain your prediction.

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts that are not consumed in the reactions they catalyze. According to the lock - and - key or induced - fit models, the enzyme's active site binds to the substrate, facilitates the reaction, and then releases the product. After the reaction, the enzyme returns to its original shape because it is not permanently altered by the reaction process.

Answer:

The enzyme will have the same shape as it did before the reaction. Draw the enzyme in its original form as it is unchanged chemically and structurally after the reaction has occurred.
