The lock-and-key mechanism refers to a) the complementary shapes of an enzyme and a substrate. b) the attractive forces between an enzyme and a substrate. c) the ability of an enzyme to lower the activation energy of a reaction. d) the ability of an enzyme to “unlock” the products of a reaction.

A. The complementary shapes of an enzyme and a substrate

Explanation:

The Lock-and-Key model was made to show how an enzyme's active zone fits a substrate and how they bond together. It correlates just like a lock and a key; you have to have the correct-shaped key in order to open a lock. Same process of thought with the enzymes; you must have the same shape for both in order to bind together,

i think the miocene epoch spans the time from 23 million to 12 million years ago.

micro/nanoscale topography surface exhibits many prominent properties and is extensively employed in biomedical device, microfluidic device and energy device fabrication. additionally, the clinical applications of biomaterials can be largely expanded with of nanostructured surfaces.
