Answer: B) Product

The bonds in the reactants Just as only a certain key will fit into a lock, only a certain substrate will fit into the active site of an enzyme. Substrates are converted into products.

Product. Enzymes bind to reactants in a chemical reaction. These reactants are also called substrate; they bind at the active site of an enzyme. At the end of the chemical process, the substrate molecules have been converted to products.
