Which of the following statement suggests that the shape of an enzyme determines the enzyme's function? 

• enzymes can operate in a wide range of conditions
• enzymes are specific to a substrate
• enzymes are activated by neighboring molecules

Which statement explains the effect of the inhibitor? 

• The inhibitor changes the shape of the active site preventing the substrate from attaching.
