Question

Label enzyme product substrate and active site.

A. Substrate, enzyme, product
B. Enzyme, active site, substrate
C. Product, substrate, enzyme
D. Active site, substrate, enzyme

Answer 1

The correct labeling of enzyme, product, substrate, and active site is option D: Active site, substrate, enzyme.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct labeling of enzyme, product, substrate, and active site is option D: Active site, substrate, enzyme.

1. The substrate is the reactant that binds to the active site of the enzyme.
2. The enzyme is the protein that catalyzes the chemical reaction.
3. The product is the end result of the reaction.
4. The active site is the specific location on the enzyme where the substrate binds.

When the substrate binds to the active site, an enzyme-substrate complex is formed and the enzyme catalyzes the conversion of the substrate into the product by breaking or making bonds between the atoms of the substrate.

After the reaction, the product is released from the enzyme's active site, and the enzyme is left unaffected and can catalyze another reaction with a new substrate.
