Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the region of an enzyme into which the substrate fits.
Option 1: 'Highly specific active site' – This is the accurate description. An enzyme has an active site whose shape and chemical environment are complementary to its substrate, enabling specificity and proper catalysis.
Option 2: 'One-size-fits-all active site' – This is incorrect because enzyme active sites are not universal; they are shaped to fit specific substrates based on molecular geometry and interactions, which is why most enzymes act on a limited set of substrates.
Option 3: 'One-size-all antibody' – This is a mixing of concepts: antibodies are immune molecules, not the catalytic regions of enzymes, and thus this option mislabels the concept altogether.
Option 4: 'Highly specific antibody' – While antibodies can be highly specific for antigens, they are not the part of an enzyme that binds substrates; this conflates immune specificity with enzymatic active sites and is therefore inaccurate.
