The correct answer for the given question above would be: An active site refers to enzymes. The active site is a site on the enzyme molecule where specific substrate molecules bind and undergo chemical reactions. It contains catalytic groups (which are amino acids), that enables the promotion of the formation and degradation of bonds.
