Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Enzymes can only react with one different substance because they are very specific.

They have an active site which makes them specific, because this active site restricts which substrates (reactants) can bind to the enzyme.

So, this statement is false, because enzymes can only react with one substance since they are specific.
