The molecule upon which an enzyme acts is called the substrate.
The molecule on which an enzyme acts is called a substrate. The enzyme-substrate complex lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction.
It is called a substrate.
'Substrate' is defined in the Apple Computer Dictionary as "the substance on which an enzyme acts."
a substrate.
It's called the substrate. Its individual name depends on which enzyme it is.
Enzymes work on a substrate. These must match or the reaction will not occur. It is sometimes called a lock and key mechanism.
Enzymes generally act on proteins.
This would be called a substrate.

enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts
Enzymes.
Proteins that act as biological catalyst are called enzymes.
These molecules are called substrates.
The large complex protein molecules that modify chemical reactions are called enzymes. Enzymes act as catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They bind to specific molecules called substrates and facilitate the conversion of substrates into products.
Complex molecules are broken down into simple molecules by the action of specialised proteins called enzymes. The three digestive enzymes are:amylases, which act on the carbohydratesproteases, which act on the proteinslipases, which act on the lipids

In biology, enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in the body.

Enzymes act as catalysts in living things.
They are called enzymes. They aren't necessarily considered molecules, but I suppose they are, perhaps very large ones. These enzymes act as a catalyst to speed the decompositions along. Stomach acid helps by oxidising the food as well as creating the environment for the proteins to function.
Careful! Not all enzymes are hydrolytic. Hydrolytic enzymes catalyse reactions in which there is breaking of molecules (involving the participation of water molecules). There are enzymes which catalyse reactions in which molecules join together to form a larger molecule (condensation reactions)
Enzymes reaction cycle is so fast that a single enzyme molecule typically act on about thousand substrate molecules per second.
