Answer:

The lock and key mechanism refer to the specific enzyme-substrate reaction mechanism.

Explanation:

The lock and key mechanism explain the specific action of the enzyme on the substrate in a specific reaction. The enzyme is the lock and the key is the substrate. The correctly shaped and sized key that is the substrate, fits into the keyhole which is the active site of the lock that is enzyme as per the lock and key mechanism.

As we know the only a specific key can fit in the keyhole and unlock the lock same action goes with enzyme and substrate, only a specific substrate fits in with the active site of the enzyme in particular reaction.

Thus, the lock and key mechanism refer to the specific enzyme-substrate reaction mechanism.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Negative feedback.

Explanation:

The production of erythropoietin by the liver and kidneys is a negative feedback because with the production of erythropoietin, our body tends to move to become more stable state. The erythropoietin is produced by the liver and kidneys to increase the production of red blood cells if the quantity of red blood cells are lower than the normal range. If the number of red blood cells are decreases the oxygen level in our body is low that leads to unstable condition of the body but when the concentration of red blood cells increases, the body move towards stability.
