A positively charged subatomic particle is called a(n) __________.

• proton
• electron

• neutron

• atom

Which action must occur for an enzyme to catalyze a chemical reaction?

• a competitive inhibitor must first bind to an active site

• a substrate must bind to an active site of the enzyme

• a substrate must bind to an allosteric site of the enzyme

• a noncompetitive inhibitor must first bind to an active site

Answer explanation

A substrate must bind to an enzyme's active site to be properly positioned for the enzyme to catalyze a chemical reaction.
