'Substrate' is defined in the Apple Computer Dictionary as "the substance on which an enzyme acts."
a substrate.

What do cells have of enzymes to act as biological catalyst?
enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts
What are Molecules that act as catalysts in biological systems?
Enzymes.
Proteins that act as biological catalysts are called?
Proteins that act as biological catalyst are called enzymes.
What are molecules that are acted upon by enzymes called?
These molecules are called substrates.
What are the large complex protein molecules that modify chemical reactions?
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.
What are the digestive enzyme?
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
What do cells have of enzymes to act as biological catalyst?
enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts
What catalyst do we have in our body?
In biology, enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in the body.

What molecules act as catalysts in living thing?
Enzymes act as catalysts in living things.
Molecules which serve as chemicals to make reaction work- like the breakdown of food molecules?
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.
Why enzymes are called hydrolytic enzymes?
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)
How fast do enzymes act?
Enzymes reaction cycle is so fast that a single enzyme molecule typically act on about thousand substrate molecules per second.
