Can enzyme fit everything

Biology

I'm not sure what you mean by "everything", but a substrate definitely can fit inside an enzyme!

Let's use the enzyme sucrase as an example. There's a vacant space in the enzyme called an "active site" where the substrate enters. In this case, sucrase's substrate is sucrose. The substrate "sucrose" enters and binds to the enzyme sucrase's active site. The binded sucrose and sucrase is called the "enzyme-substrate complex" because the enzyme and the substrate are present. This lowers the activation energy of a reaction, therefore speeding up the reaction as a result. The sucrose is converted into new products: glucose and fructose.

Enzymes are specific to their substrate because their active site only fits certain molecules. However, sometimes a similar-shaped item can fit in the active site and block it off :c

An enzyme works like a key to a lock. If it finds the right thing it can work.

Hope it helps.

Q3.13. In our simulation of herbivores feeding in a farm pasture, we treated each species as if it were foraging all by itself.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

<em>The grasshopper competes with the sheep for food, thereby reducing the available quantity and quality of food for the sheep.</em>

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, many organisms rely on the same food source. The success of a particular species in extracting the food source better than another species that needs that same food source can affect the success of  population of this other species of animal. If the number of grasshopper in this pasture becomes too much, it might lead to the consumption of a large portion of the pasture by the grasshopper, leading to a reduction in the available food for the sheep. If this happens, the population of the sheep might decline in order to balance the increase in the population of the grasshopper.
