Which of the following is NOT one of the three basic steps involved in enzyme activity? a) The enzyme-substrate complex undergoes internal rearrangements that form the product (s). b) The enzyme releases the product (s) of the reaction. c) The enzyme's active site binds to the substrate (s) on which it acts, temporarily forming an enzyme-substrate complex. d) The substrate absorbs chemical energy from the enzyme after binding to its active site.

Answer: d) The substrate absorbs chemical energy from the enzyme after binding to its active site.

Explanation: A enzyme is a

chemical substance that speeds up the rate of a reaction. Enzymes acts as catalysts. Enzyme activity can be determined by monitoring and obsvering either the rate at which a substrate disappears or the rate at which a product is formed.
