Q.

The ‘lock’ and ‘key’ model of enzyme action illustrates that a particular enzyme molecule

A.

(b) Emil Fisher (1894) proposed ‘lock and key theory’ for the mechanism of enzyme action, according to which the active sites of enzyme have a specific geometric shape wherein the substrate molecules fit in just like a key in a particular lock. In other words, it illustrates that a particular enzyme molecule interacts with a specific type of substrate molecule.
