Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze (i.e., increase the rates of) chemical reactions.
In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products.
Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell.

What is the substance an enzyme act upon called?
the substance that an enzyme acts upon is subtrate
This essential substance increases the rate of a biochemical reaction?
the inorganic substance which increases the enzyme activity is called?
What are the molecules that enzymes act on called?
The molecule upon which an enzyme acts is called the substrate.
What acts in your body as a catalyst?
Enzyme
Is an enzyme a substance?
Yes, an enzyme is a substance, an organic substance, because it is a protein, and all proteins contain carbon, which is the definition of an organic substance. I had to find this out for Biology GCSE and found that not many people actually knew. Hope it helps :O)
What is the substance an enzyme act upon called?
the substance that an enzyme acts upon is subtrate
This is the material or substance on which an enzyme acts?
Substrates
What is the substance on which an enzyme acts during a chemical reaction?
a catalyst
The enzyme molecule region that combines with the substance it acts upon is what?
the active site
Substance that enzyme act upon?
They are known as reactants or substrates.
The molecule on which an enzyme acts is called an?
The substance on which enzymes act are called substrates.
What is the difference between substrate and product?
The substrate is the substance (or substances) that attaches to the enzyme's active site before the reaction occurs.The product is the substance (or substances) that is formed after the enzyme has worked on the substrate.///
This essential substance increases the rate of a biochemical reaction?
the inorganic substance which increases the enzyme activity is called?
What is a specific enzyme?
A specific enzyme is an enzyme that only changes the speed of ONE reaction. (It only acts on one particular substance that happens to be compatible with that enzyme) i.e. if enzyme A is specific to reaction A, it will change the speed of reaction A. However it will have no effect on any other reaction like reaction B or C.
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
What is a substrate in the context of enzyme reaction?
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.
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.
