Answer:

The open area where the substrate is attached to an enzyme is called the active site.

Explanation:

The active site of an enzyme corresponds to the place where the tertiary structure of this molecule leaves a free space to couple the substrate and be able to catalyze a chemical reaction.

Since the enzyme-substrate complex functions as a <u>key lock system</u>, the active site has a three-dimensional configuration that only admits certain molecules as substrate, which determines its specificity.

Describe two ways that you could determine the volume of a pair of dice

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The volume of a pair of dice could be gotten by measuring the

sides and calculating it via length/width/height. A second manner

would be displacement, where the dice are placed in a liquid with a

known density, and the mass of the liquid displaced is used to

determine volume.
