Question

in the diagrams below do the following: 1) label the active site of the enzyme 2) label and colour the enzyme blue 3) label and colour the substrate red 4) label and colour the product green

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions. The active - site is the region of the enzyme where the substrate binds and the reaction occurs. The substrate is the molecule that the enzyme acts upon, and the product is the molecule formed as a result of the reaction. In the diagrams, the enzyme is the larger structure with a specific shape - complementary to the substrate. The active - site is the part of the enzyme that fits the substrate.

Answer:

For each diagram:

1. Label the indented or complementary - shaped part of the larger structure (enzyme) as the active site.
2. Colour the larger structure (enzyme) blue and label it as "enzyme".
3. Colour the smaller structure that fits into the active site red and label it as "substrate".
4. Colour the structure(s) that result from the reaction green and label it/them as "product".
