Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) The free energy of the reactants is greater than the free energy of the products.

B) The equilibrium constant of the reaction is much greater than 1.

C) The shape and charge of the substrates are compatible with the active site of the enzyme.

D) The concentration of the enzyme inside living cells is greater than the concentration of substrate.

The answer is C

Explanation:

An enzyme is a proteinous molecule that increases the rate of reaction of a biochemical reaction in living organisms. However, a protein molecule contains amino acids which makes up it's primary structure. An enzyme performs it action by binding to it's substrate using it's active site.

An enzyme is substrate specific because the shape and charge of the substrates are compatible with the active site of the enzyme, where the reaction occurs. This means that an enzyme will not bind to any substrate that its active site does not recognize
