"Reactants are the substances which react together" in order to form other things which are the products.
Reactants are on the left side of an equation, products are on the right side.
eg.
Oxygen + Glucose ---> Carbon dioxide + water (+ some energy)
Bold = reactants
italics and underline = products
Hope this helps
In biology, a reactant is a substance that participates in a chemical reaction, where it undergoes a change to form a product. Reactants are the starting materials in a reaction and are typically consumed during the process.
When breaking up a solid reactant into finer pieces, what will happen is that the rate of reaction will increase. This is really the only major change that will happen in terms of how it will react.

To determine the limiting reactant, you need to compare the amounts of reactants in terms of moles. First, convert the grams of glucose and oxygen into moles using their respective molar masses. Then, calculate the moles of products that can be formed from each reactant. The reactant that produces fewer moles of product will be the limiting reactant.
The rate at which a reactant is consumed is directly related to the rate at which a product is formed in a chemical reaction, reflecting the stoichiometry of the reaction. According to the law of conservation of mass, the amount of reactant used up will equal the amount of product produced, assuming no side reactions occur. Thus, the speed of reactant consumption and product formation can be expressed in terms of their molar concentrations over time, often measured in terms of reaction rate.

Biology in technical terms in the study of life. The word comes from the Greek "Bios" meaning life and "ology" meaning the study of, creating the study of life.

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).
Studying the etymology of biological terms provides insight into the origin and meaning of these terms, which can help students better understand and remember complex biological concepts. It also enables students to decipher unfamiliar terms and identify relationships between different terms based on common roots or prefixes. Overall, understanding etymology enhances students' overall comprehension and retention of biological vocabulary.
