Enzyme-substrate
complex
is formed when the
substrate
binds to an active site on the enzyme.
The enzyme catalyzes the reaction by
lowering
the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, resulting in
faster
rates of reaction.
Once the product has been
released
from the enzyme, it can be used or further processed by other reactions.
The enzyme catalyzes the reaction by

Enzymes are biological
catalysts
that speed up chemical reactions without being
consumed
themselves.
After the product has been
released
from the enzyme, it can be used or further processed.
Enzymes have specific shapes called
active sites
where they interact with their
target molecules
(substrates).
Enzymes have specific shapes and structures that allow them to interact with particular
molecules
called
substrates.
Active sites are complementary in shape to the substrate, allowing them to fit together like a
lock
and
key.
