Answer Key / Explanation : (b) -

(b)

Each enzyme [E] has a substrate [S] binding site in its molecule so that a highly reactive enzyme substrate complex [ES] is produced. This complex is short lived and dissociates into its product and the unchanged enzyme with an intermediate formation of the enzyme product complex [EP]

The formation of the ES complex is essential for catalysis
