The active site of an enzyme______________?

Correct answer: C. Determined by structure and the specificity of the enzyme

  • A. Never changes
  • B. Forms no chemical bond with substrate
  • C. Determined by structure and the specificity of the enzyme
  • D. They are non specific in their action

Explanation

The active site's shape and chemical groups arise from the enzyme's three-dimensional structure, giving the enzyme specificity for particular substrates. A common mistake is choosing a because the active site may adjust slightly during induced fit, but it is not completely unchanging in every enzyme.
