Fill in the missing blanks in the equation below: active enzyme + ( → ( + (

active enzyme + substrate→  product + active enzyme

Explanation:

The equation is just a representation of mechanism of enzyme action.

About enzymes, we know that they are proteinaceous substances or chemicals which take part in a chemical reaction and speed up the rate of reaction.

This is because they react with the substrate and transform it into a product in a quicker manner.

Mechanism of action:

All the enzymatic activities are due to its specific nature and shape. Enzymes have a certain area called active site which is responsible for the enzymatic activity. The substrate attaches itself into the active site of the enzyme, enzyme starts its working and the end of reaction is when a product is formed and enzyme in its active form is still available and ready to speed up another reaction.You can see mechanism and understand in a better way in attached figure.
