question 50

Multiple Choice

The image below diagrams the action of an enzyme.Notice that the enzyme is depicted as being more tightly wrapped around the substrates in step 2 than it is in step 1.Why is this?

• A)When a substrate locks into the active site of an enzyme,the enzyme changes shape to mold itself around the substrates.
• B)Generally,the size of a substrate is larger than the size of the active site into which it must fit.When the substrate enters the active site,the active site must stretch to fit.
• C)Before catalysis can occur,a substrate must change its shape so that it fits into the active site of the enzyme more precisely.
• D)Most active sites are only designed to hold one substrate.In this image,two substrates enter the active site,creating a tighter fit.
