Short explanation

Enzyme action depends on the shape of the active site. The human digestive system sits within Animal tissues, organs and organ systems, so this idea should be explained in that specific biological context rather than as an isolated phrase. A useful term here is active site, because active site is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Explain that enzyme action depends on the shape of the active site. Avoid giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain that enzyme action depends on the shape of the active site; instead answer by clearly explaining how to explain that enzyme action depends on the shape of the active site. Use precise biological vocabulary when you explain how to explain that enzyme action depends on the shape of the active site. This keeps your answer tightly aligned to the approved learning objective for The human digestive system.
