Answer:

Specificity

Step-by-step explanation:

Enzymes are highly specific in nature. They cannot speed up any reaction. They only bind with their specific substrates. Just like lock and key. One key cannot open all the locks. The same is the case in the enzyme, one enzyme can only bind with the specific substrate and speed up the reaction.
