Answer:

Enzymes' shapes are important because it determines the specific substrate it will act onto.

Explanation:

The shape of the enzymes are explained by two theories, which are Lock and Key Theory and Induced Fit Theory.

<h3>Lock and Key Theory </h3>

This was first coined by <em>Emil Fischer in 1894</em>. Just like how a key has a specific keyhole, <u>enzymes' active sites are supposed to act on specific substrates to produce a catalyzed effect</u>. Incorrectly shaped keys or enzymes will not fit into a lock (substrate) not assigned for it.

<h3>Induced Fit Theory</h3>

this theory was proposed for the substrates that do not qualify for the Lock-and-Key theory, or <u>enzymes that have more than one active sites</u>. It is said that the <u>substrate determines the final shape of the enzyme</u>, and that the<u> enzyme is somehow pliable</u>. The enzyme is then modified by the substrate to form an enzyme-substrate complex. This explains why two or more enzymes can catalyze a single substrate.

<h3>Additional notes:</h3>

For enzymes to work, they may need specific molecules.

A coenzyme may be <u>metal ions (iron, copper, magnesium)</u> or <u>organic molecules (Vitamins B2, B3, B8)</u> which attach to an enzyme to form a holoenzyme. An apoenzyme is an enzyme with only its protein part sans the cofactor.

​the symptoms of ____ are caused by progressive demyelination of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. ​multiple sclerosis ​
nika2105 [10]

The correct answer is multiple sclerosis.

The MS or multiple sclerosis refers to a demyelinating disorder in which the insulating envelopes of the nervous tissues in the spinal cord and the brain get destructed.

This destruction disturbs the tendency of the components of the nervous system to interact, leading to an array of symptoms and signs, involving mental, physical, and on certain occasions psychiatric issues.

ruslelena [56]
It is the Free trade. A typical contention against free trade is the decrease of residential employments from the expansion in imported products from global nations. Free trade is exemplified by the European Economic Area and the Mercosur, which have built up open markets.
