Enzymes facilitate chemical reactions that result in changes to a substrate. How does the induced-fit model of enzymes and substrates explain their function?A. The substrates attach to the enzyme, and the chemical reaction proceeds.B. The enzyme changes shape to fit the substrate, causing the transition state to occur. (CORRECT ANSWER)C. The enzyme induces a change in the substrate but is not changed itself during the reaction.INCORRECT ANSWERD. Both enzymes and substrates undergo dynamic changes, inducing the transitions state of the substrate.
Question
Enzymes facilitate chemical reactions that result in changes to a substrate. How does the induced-fit model of enzymes and substrates explain their function?A. The substrates attach to the enzyme, and the chemical reaction proceeds.B. The enzyme changes shape to fit the substrate, causing the transition state to occur. (CORRECT ANSWER)C. The enzyme induces a change in the substrate but is not changed itself during the reaction.INCORRECT ANSWERD. Both enzymes and substrates undergo dynamic changes, inducing the transitions state of the substrate.
Solution
The induced-fit model of enzymes and substrates explains their function by stating that the enzyme changes its shape to fit the substrate, causing the transition state to occur.

One theoretical model of enzyme-substrate interaction explains enzyme catalysis as a function of the stabilization of the transition state by the enzyme active site. This is an example of the:A.catalysis mechanism.B.lock and key mechanism.C.Michaelis-Menten mechanism.D.induced-fit mechanism.
Which statement explains why the induced fit model is a more accurate description of enzyme/substrate bonding than the lock and key model? Enzymes have active sites that fit most substrates. Enzymes do not need active sites to bond to substrates. Enzymes have rigid active sites with flexible sites for co-factors. Enzymes do have flexible active sites that mold to substrates.

A key idea in biology is that structure determines function. How does the shape of an enzyme determine its function? Select all correct answers.Group of answer choicesThe shape of the active site matches and is specific to its substrate.The shape of an enzyme is easily changed meaning an enzyme can work on many substrate molecules.The amino acids that build an enzyme create a unique chemical environment within the enzymes active site.The unique shape of the active site means an enzyme will work on one or a small number of similar substrate molecules
