Solution

failed
failed

The answer is: enzyme

Explanation:

  1. The induced-fit model is a concept in biochemistry that describes how enzymes interact with substrates.
  2. According to this model, when a substrate approaches an enzyme, the enzyme changes its shape slightly to better fit the substrate.
  3. This change in shape helps to facilitate the chemical reaction by properly aligning the active site of the enzyme with the substrate.
  4. Therefore, the correct term to fill in the blank is "enzyme," as it is the enzyme that changes shape slightly as part of the reactions.
