-- Gases change their shape and volume to match the container they're in.
-- Liquids change their shape but not their volume.
-- Solids don't change anything. It doesn't matter if they're in a glass jar,
a rubber balloon, or a paper bag.

A liquid is defined as something that has a constant volume but conforms to the shape of its container. This is different from a gas which has variable volume and conforms to the shape of its container. It is also different from a solid which has a constant volume and does not change to fit the shape of its container.
ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
Think of it this way: a solid will not form into its container. (ex. a brick wont fit in a container smaller than it) therefore it has a definite shape. A liquid will conform into a a container, so it it considered that forms of matter other than solids (like gases, liquids, and plasmas) have no definite shape.
the answer is that the shape it own because the state make it answer
The induced fit model is the theory that instead of enzymes and substrates fitting exactly together, as in the lock and key model, the enzyme changes shape around the substrate to bind with it. Non-competitive inhibition is where the inhibitor does not fit into the active site, but into another site on the enzyme instead, which changes the shape of the active site.
