Answer:

1. Different enzymes have different substrates. Enzymes have different shaped active sites, that only a specific substrate can fit in the active site. In order for the enzyme to be broken down

2. After the substrate binds to the active site of an enzyme, the enzyme is broken down into smaller molecules. The substrate is not used up in this process, and is free to move around to other enzymes. The substrate then binds with the active site of the next enzyme, causing it to break down

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps!
