No substrate molecules can react on their own, however without enzymes this occurs at such a slow rate that, chemical reactions required to sustain life would not occur fast enough and the organism would die.

What is substrate molecule?
Is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts. e.g. hydrogen peroxide is the substrate for the enzyme catalase
Who does the substrate work on enzyme action?
The substrate is the molecule(s) that an enzyme works on
What is The target molecule for an enzyme called?
substrate
Can an enzyme bind to nearly any molecule?
No; enzymes have substrate specificity, which means the substrate has to be a specific shape for the enzyme to bind to it.
An enzyme may react with several substrate chemicals simultaneously?
Yes, it can. Specific areas on the larger enzyme molecule can interact with the substrate.

The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?
A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.
What is The target molecule for an enzyme called?
substrate
The reactants of an enzyme-catalzyed reaction are known as what?
The substrate is the molecule affected by the enzyme.

No; enzymes have substrate specificity, which means the substrate has to be a specific shape for the enzyme to bind to it.

Yes, it can. Specific areas on the larger enzyme molecule can interact with the substrate.
What happens after a substrate binds to an enzyme?
Substrate a reactant molecule that binds to an enzyme. It has a specific shape that is complementary in shape to the active site of the enzyme. Product the substance or substances produced by the reaction between the enzyme and substrate.
Substance that enzyme act upon?
They are known as reactants or substrates.
Give 2 explanations for the fact that only certain substrate molecules will fit into this part of the enzyme molecule?
A substrate molecule will only fit into the active site if it is a complimentary shape. Also the amino acids that make up an enzyme have positively and negatively charged chemical groups so in orderr for a substrate to fit its active site any electrical charges on the substrate molecule must not be repelled by like charges on the enzyme so the charged groups on the enzyme molecule and substrate molecule must attract one another
Explain the difference between substrate and active site?
Substrate is the reactant in which an enzyme reacts out. While the active Site is a special region of the enzyme where the substrate binds forming a temporary enzyme-substrate complex.
Molecule that binds to an enzyme?
a substrate =================================== or an "interacting molecule".
