Answer:

In order for a substance to bind to the enzyme, it must fit into or "match" the active site.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a substance, known as a substrate, binds to an enzyme, it must have a complementary shape and chemical properties that allow it to fit into the active site of the enzyme. The active site is a specific region on the enzyme where the substrate binds and undergoes a chemical reaction.
