What is the name for the part of the enzyme where substrates and competitive inhibitors bind?

Binding pocket

Catalytic core

Active site

Allosteric site

Verified step by step guidance

Understand that enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in the body.

Recognize that the active site of an enzyme is the region where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.

Identify that competitive inhibitors are molecules that can bind to the active site, preventing the substrate from binding.

Differentiate between the active site and other parts of the enzyme, such as the allosteric site, which is where non-competitive inhibitors may bind.

Conclude that the correct term for the part of the enzyme where substrates and competitive inhibitors bind is the 'active site'.
