Is the active side of an enzyme highly changeable portion of an enzyme that adapts to fit the substrates of various reactions?

When an enzyme binds to the appropriate substrate, subtle changes in the active site occur. This alteration of the active site is known as an induced fit.
Induced fit enhances catalysis, as the enzyme converts substrate to product.
Release of the products restores the enzyme to its original form. The enzyme can repeat this reaction over and over, as long as substrate molecules are present.

Contains enzymes that transfer hydrogen from various substrates to oxygen producing H2O?
peroxisome
Why enzyme controlled reactions work better at room temperature?
The way enzymes work is by providing a bonding site at which various compounds (substrates) can come in contact and easily react with each other through some mechanism. If the temperature of the system is increased slightly, the substrates will have more energy and will thus collide more frequently, allowing for more reactions. However, if the temperature increases significantly, such as to the boiling point of water, they become extremely deformed, and since their function was dependent on their shape, this cripples their ability to catalyze reactions. While a few bonding sites may still be active, many will not, and those that are will have lost some of their functionality due to the change in shape

Substances that plug up an enzyme's active site are?
Blocking of enzyme activity depends on various factors such as concentration of substrates, pH, temperature, some durgs. As for example rifampicin durg blocks RNA polymerase II activity.
