Which statement best summarizes what you have learned about substrate and enzyme binding and how it affects the function of enzymes? a) The shape of enzymes changes slightly as they interact with the substrate creating a lock-and- key fit.
b) The changing of the shape of the substrate can slow down reactions by preventing the binding of the substrate and the active site.
c) The shape and charge of the substrate must be compatible with the active site of the enzyme so that enzyme-aided metabolic reactions can occur.
d) The binding between the substrate and the active site is the result of different interactions, including hydrogen-binding and electrostatic-force interactions.
