Which of the following statements best explain the reaction specificity of an enzyme?
the free energy of the reactants is greater than the free energy of the products.

the equilibrium constant of the reaction is much greater than 1.

the shape and charge of the substrates are compatible with the active site of the enzyme.

the concentration of the enzyme inside living cells is greater than the concentration of substrate.

Answer is C. The shape and charge of the substrates are compatible with the active site of the enzyme.

Explanation:

It should be understood that the determination of reaction specificity of an enzyme is by how compatible the substrate is , with the enzyme's active site.

note that, whether a substrate will form favorable interaction with the enzyme depends on the substrate shape and charge.

stratosphere: as the altitude increases, the air temperature increases. the stratosphere has a layer of ozone, called the ozone layer. this layer absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiation from sunlight. this results in the stratosphere being warmer.
