The Enzyme - in all Imaginable Cases!
Is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts. e.g. hydrogen peroxide is the substrate for the enzyme catalase
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
The molecule upon which an enzyme acts is called the substrate.
fit into the active site on the enzyme

They are known as reactants or substrates.

A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.
The molecule upon which an enzyme acts is called the substrate.
In biology terms, the substrate most commonly describes the molecule in which an enzyme acts upon. A substrate can also refer the surface in which a plant or animal lives and/or grows upon.
Enzyme-substrate specificity means that a substrate can fit into an enzyme similar to a key fitting into a lock. The active site of the enzyme is what determines its specificity. An enzyme can hence catalyze a reaction with a specific substrate, such as amylase catalyzing starch molecules. During these reactions, the substrate is held in a precise optimum position to create and break bonds, catalyzing the molecule.
fit into the active site on the enzyme
No. They are substrate specific.
