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.

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

D. Population genetics

Population genetics is the study of genetic variation within populations, and involves the examination and modelling of changes in the frequencies of genes and alleles in populations over space and time. ... In natural populations, however, the genetic composition of a population's gene pool may change over time.

Explanation:

microevolution - evolutionary change within a species or small group of organisms, especially over a short period. (Not studying the overall evolution in the population, just a single allele usually) Not it then

macroevolution - Macroevolution in the modern sense is evolution that is guided by selection among interspecific variation, as opposed to selection among intraspecific variation in microevolution (this goes over huge groups of different species) Not it then

gene pool - The gene pool is the set of all genes, or genetic information, in any population, usually of a particular species. (Not the study of evolution in a population) Not that then

So it has to be D
