What is the reactant being catalyzed known as?

atalysis definition or catalysis meaning can be given as the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction because of the participation of an additional substance, which is known as a catalyst. Catalyst is not consumed in the catalyzed reaction, but it can continue to act repeatedly. Even a small amount of catalyst is usually sufficient to bring about this effect. In contrast with the catalyzed mechanisms, usually, the catalyst reacts to generate a temporary intermediate, which then regenerates the original catalyst with the help of a cyclic process.
