Question

which is the correct general equation for an enzyme - catalyzed reaction? note: enzyme is represented by \e\, substrate by \s\, and product by \p\
s → e + p
p → e + p → ep → s
p + s → e + p → ep
e → s + p
e + s → es → e + p

Explanation:

In an enzyme - catalyzed reaction, the enzyme (E) binds to the substrate (S) to form an enzyme - substrate complex (ES). The ES complex then breaks down to release the product (P) and regenerate the enzyme. The correct general equation is E + S → ES → E+P.

Answer:

E + S → ES → E + P
