Enzyme Induction Occurs

Question

Enzyme induction occurs
A) when the substrate is present.
B) when the organism is environmentally stressed.
C) continuously.
D) when the substrate is depleted.

Accepted Answer

Enzyme induction occurs when the substrate for a particular enzyme is present in the environment, leading to an increase in the production of that enzyme by the organism. This allows for more efficient processing of the substrate and adaptation to changing conditions. Enzyme induction is not related to environmental stress or substrate depletion, and it is a continuous process that responds to the presence or absence of the substrate.
