An enzyme and substrate react through a special feature or site present in the enzyme:
Correct answer: B. Active site
- A. Binding site
- B. Active site
- C. Catalyst site
- D. Inhibition site
Explanation
An enzyme and its specific substrate react with each other through a definite charge-bearing site of an enzyme called the active site. The charge and shape of the active site are formed by some amino acids present in the polypeptide chain of the active site of the enzyme.

About Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
