Questions  

Statement A: Substrate activates the enzyme by binding to the active site. 

Statement B: Substrate causes bond distortion at the active site of enzyme molecule.

a
Both statements A and B are incorrect
b
Both Statements A and B are correct
c
Statement A is correct and B is incorrect
d
Statement A is incorrect and B is correct

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Enzyme activates the substrate upon the binding of the substrate at the active site of enzyme. Due to conformation change in the enzyme, the enzyme either weakens the bonds in the substrate and making the substrate more susceptible to catalytic attack. The enzyme may donate or accept protons or electrons from the substrate.
