How is "lock and key used to describe the action of enzymes? (1 point)

Question

Enzymes are able to create gaps in cell walls that allow reactants to enter cells.

Enzymes are able to create gaps in ceil walls that allow products to leave cells.

Enzymes have a shape that specifically fits the products, like a key in a lock.

Enzymes have a shape that specifically fits the reactants, like a key in a lock

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

Enzymes have a shape that specifically fits the reactants, like a key in a lock.

This analogy describes how enzymes are specific to their substrates (reactants), and only those substrates that fit the enzyme's active site can undergo a reaction, similar to how a key fits into a specific lock.
