According to the lock and key model of enzymes, which of the following would be the most likely substrate?
Lesson Worksheet: Enzyme Action | Nagwa
a. V
b. X
c. Y
d. Z
e. A realistic substrate is not shown in the diagram.
Based on the lock and key model of enzymes, the most likely substrate would be option c. Y.
To determine the most likely substrate according to the lock and key model of enzymes, you need to consider the shape and structure of both the enzyme and the potential substrates. In the lock and key model, the enzyme's active site is complementary in shape to the substrate, allowing for a specific substrate-enzyme interaction.
Since the diagram or context of the question is not provided, it is not possible to determine the most likely substrate. However, you can try analyzing the structure and shape of the potential substrates mentioned in the options (V, X, Y, and Z) and determine which one is the best fit for the active site of the enzyme based on the lock and key model principles.
