Question
- which of the following statements is true about enzymes and substrates? each enzyme has many sites to fit all substrates. each enzyme can form many products from a specific set of substrates. each enzyme has specialized sites that only fit certain substrates. each enzyme is designed to work with substrates from all metabolic reactions.
Brief Explanations
Enzymes exhibit specificity, meaning their active sites (specialized binding sites) only match and bind to particular substrates, based on the lock-and-key or induced fit models of enzyme-substrate interaction. The other options are incorrect: enzymes do not fit all substrates, do not produce many products from a specific substrate set, and do not work with all metabolic reaction substrates.
