Which of the following binds to the active site of an enzyme?

Question

A.
Monosaccharides

B.
Substrates

C.
Products

D.
Other enzymes

Answer 1

B. Substrates

Substrates are the molecules that bind to the active site of an enzyme, where the enzyme catalyzes a specific reaction involving those substrates. Monosaccharides could be substrates for certain enzymes, but they are not the only type. Products are formed after the reaction has occurred, and other enzymes do not typically bind to the active site of another enzyme.
