Question

click “specificity” at the main menu: enzyme structure

1. what is an active site of an enzyme? (look at the image.)
2. what is the end result of a chemical reaction?
3. can just any molecule bind to an enzyme? (watch the animation to answer this question.)
4. take the “enzyme specificity” mini - quiz. how did you do?

Explanation:

1. The active - site of an enzyme is a specific region on the enzyme molecule where the substrate binds and the chemical reaction occurs. It has a unique shape and chemical properties that allow it to interact with the substrate.
2. The end - result of a chemical reaction is the product(s), which are substances formed as a result of the transformation of the reactants.
3. No, only specific molecules (substrates) can bind to an enzyme due to the enzyme's specificity. The active - site of the enzyme has a complementary shape and chemical properties to the substrate.
4. This question requires personal assessment after taking the quiz and cannot be answered without actually taking the quiz.

Answer:

1. A specific region on the enzyme where the substrate binds and reaction occurs.
2. The product(s) of the reaction.
3. No, only specific substrates can bind.
4. Personal assessment after taking the quiz.
