Generally in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the reactant is called the substrate, which in association with the enzyme forms the product.
Substrate is the term used to describe a substance that undergoes a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme. It is the substance that is acted upon by the enzyme to form a product. In a chemical reaction, the substrate is the molecule upon which an enzyme acts.
The data indicates that the optimum substrate concentration for the lactase-catalyzed reaction is typically at a concentration where the enzyme active sites are mostly saturated with substrate molecules, leading to maximum reaction rate. Beyond this point, increasing substrate concentration may not significantly increase the reaction rate due to enzyme saturation. This optimum concentration ensures efficient enzyme-substrate binding and catalytic activity.
To determine the KM and Vmax values for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, one can perform a series of experiments measuring the initial reaction rate at different substrate concentrations. By plotting the data using the Michaelis-Menten equation, the KM value can be determined as the substrate concentration at half of Vmax. Vmax is the maximum reaction rate achieved when all enzyme active sites are saturated with substrate.
Dephosphorylation is the process of removing a phosphate group from a molecule. For example, the reaction catalyzed by a phosphatase enzyme can dephosphorylate a substrate by removing the phosphate group from it, typically using water as a reactant. This reaction decreases the phosphorylation state of the molecule, impacting its biological activity and signaling.
The reactant for lipase is a lipid molecule, such as a triglyceride. Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol through a hydrolysis reaction.
Reaction catalyzed by enzyme B > reaction catalyzed by enzyme A > uncatalyzed reaction. Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, making them faster than uncatalyzed reactions. The specificity and efficiency of enzyme-substrate interactions determine the rate of reaction catalyzed by different enzymes.
Reactant.
The reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions are known as substrates. Substrates bind to the active site of an enzyme, where the reaction takes place. Enzymes help lower the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
In enzyme-catalyzed reactions, the term "substrate" is synonymous with the molecule or molecules that the enzyme acts upon to produce a reaction. It is the specific substance upon which an enzyme acts to produce a product.
The enzyme graph shows that the reaction rate of the catalyzed reaction is faster compared to the uncatalyzed reaction. This indicates that the enzyme is effectively speeding up the reaction process.
Substrate is the term used to describe a substance that undergoes a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme. It is the substance that is acted upon by the enzyme to form a product. In a chemical reaction, the substrate is the molecule upon which an enzyme acts.
The rate-limiting step of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is the slowest step in the reaction that determines the overall rate at which the reaction proceeds.

catalyzed reaction
Enzyme concentration has no effect on the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction after reaching a saturation point where all enzyme active sites are occupied. At this point, adding more enzyme will not increase the reaction rate further.
The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is often referred to as the enzyme's catalytic activity or turnover rate. It is a measure of how quickly the enzyme can convert substrate molecules into products.
