The reactants on which enzyme work are:
Correct answer: B. Substrates
- A. Products
- B. Substrates
- C. Metabolites
- D. Catabolites
Explanation
Substrates are the specific reactants that enzymes bind to and act upon. They interact with the enzyme's active site, resulting in a chemical reaction that transforms substrates into products.

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.
