substrate
D. substrate (a specific reactant acted upon by an enzyme is called the enzyme's substrate.)
the substance that an enzyme acts upon is subtrate
In enzyme-catalyzed reactions, the term "substrate" is synonymous with the molecule or molecules that the enzyme acts upon to produce a reaction. It is the specific substance upon which an enzyme acts to produce a product.
In a typical enzyme reaction, the substrate is the molecule upon which the enzyme acts. It binds to the enzyme's active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex. This interaction facilitates the conversion of the substrate into products, which are then released, allowing the enzyme to catalyze further reactions.
Enzymes act upon specific molecules called substrates. Each enzyme has a unique shape that allows it to bind to a specific substrate, facilitating a chemical reaction to occur. This specific binding of enzyme to substrate is key to the enzyme's ability to catalyze reactions in living organisms.
Substrate is the term used to describe a substance that undergoes a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme. It is the substance that is acted upon by the enzyme to form a product. In a chemical reaction, the substrate is the molecule upon which an enzyme acts.
Actually a substrate is a reactant. It undergoes a chemical reaction to yield a product. The difference is that a catalyst acts upon it to increment the rate of the reaction (by reducing the activation energy required).
The enzyme that acts upon the substrate pepsin is also called pepsin. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme produced in the stomach that helps break down proteins into smaller peptides.
An enzyme combines with a substrate to form a product through a series of chemical reactions. The substrate is the specific molecule that the enzyme acts upon, while the product is the end result of the enzyme catalyzing the reaction.
The term used for all the molecules on which an enzyme acts is "substrates." Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions by binding to these substrates, facilitating their conversion into products. Each enzyme typically has a specific substrate or a group of related substrates that it acts upon.
Is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts. e.g. hydrogen peroxide is the substrate for the enzyme catalase
An aminohydrolase is a hydrolase enzyme which acts upon an amino group.
