How does the Lock and Key Model help us understand how enzymes work?

Answer explanation

The Lock and Key Model illustrates that enzymes have a specific shape that fits a particular substrate, much like a key fits into a lock.

This model emphasizes the specificity of enzymes, meaning that each enzyme only catalyzes a specific reaction involving its corresponding substrate.
