Can enzyme fit everything

Biology

Bumek [7]3 years ago

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.

What is the composition of earths atmosphere
gogolik [260]

The earth's atmosphere consists mainly of nitrogen and oxygen with smaller proportions of other gases such as carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is maintained through a balance between processes such as photosynthesis, respiration and combustion. However this balance is being affected by human activities which are polluting the atmosphere.

The proportion of these gases in the atmosphere is as follows: nitrogen is the most abundant at 78%, oxygen is next at 21%,  while others  include carbon dioxide at 0.037% and argon at 0.9 % .
