Can enzyme fit everything

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.

torisob [31]

Answer:

It is better to compare the average height gain of control and experimental groups of plants to eliminate all other variables.

Explanation:

If you evaluate individual plants, the data may vary. The experimental group is the one where an experimental procedure is performed while the control group does not receive any treatment.
