Question
which component is released from the active site of an enzyme during a chemical reaction?
reactant
product
substrate
protein
Enzymes are biological catalysts. The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme. After the chemical reaction (catalyzed by the enzyme), the product is formed and released from the active site. Reactants are the starting substances (substrate can be considered a reactant in the context of enzyme - substrate reaction, but in terms of what is released after reaction, it's the product). Proteins are the general class to which enzymes belong (most enzymes are proteins, but some are RNA - ribozymes).
