Question

If you were working with a 3D model of an enzyme, and you had found a part representing a molecule that fits into the active site, you would have found something that is

a. Inhibitor
b. Substrate
c. Coenzyme
d. Cofactor

Answer 1

The molecule that fits into the active site of an enzyme is called a substrate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecule that fits into the active site of an enzyme is called a substrate. The active site is a specific part of the enzyme where the substrate binds, and it has a unique shape that allows only one particular substrate to bind. Once the enzyme/substrate complex is formed, the reaction occurs, and the substrate is transformed into products.
