Answer:

The mechanism of enzyme action.

Explanation:

The lock and key mechanism refer to the mechanism of enzyme action. The enzyme is a bio catalyst which enhance the biochemical reactions without changing itself. In the lock and key mechanism, a specific substrate will attach to the active site of the enzyme to form an enzyme-substrate complex. It's like a specific key fits with the lock. The active site is the portion of the enzyme, where it gets attached to the substrate. Then the substrate becomes the product and detaches from the enzyme. Now the enzyme becomes free and another specific substrate will attach to carry on the enzyme action.

Why is death by predators more natural or right then death by starvation?
balu736 [363]
Predators have to eat. If things are good in an eco-system then the prey is eating good which means the predators can eat good also. Starvation means that things in the eco-system are going bad. Also, It helps the earth maintain its balance. If too much of any aspect of the system is removed it throws the whole thing off balance. too many herbivores will eat too much vegetation.
