Question

Active sites are essential for enzyme action.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The active site is the region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction. The active site consists of residues that form temporary bonds with the substrate (binding site) and residues that catalyse a reaction of that substrate (catalytic site).

Thus, the active site of the enzyme is responsible for its catalytic action. Thus it is essential for enzyme action.
