Enzymes are biocatalysts produced by the cells, which are globular proteins
All enzymes are catalyst and not all catalysts are enzymes.
Answer 2The answer to this is an enzyme is organic meaning we make them, and a catalyst is non-organic, meaning we don't make them i.e. copper, silver, metal and so forth.Enzymes are proteins that are catalysts to the chemical reaction.
Answer #3 (by: xDGoMuSiCxD)
An enzyme is a catalyst, but a catalyst is not an enzyme. An enzyme is a protein that speeds up and/or causes chemical reactions to happen fast enough for a living thing (or an organism) to survive. For example, heat is a catalyst, but not an enzyme. Another example is an amylase is both an enzyme and a catalyst. All cells in living things have need enzymes. For example, both potato and liver tissue need enzymes. I hope that helped
Another AnswerSame as above, but a catalyst does not always need be an organic compound. It can be a coordinated metal, for example, RhCl(PPh3)3 involved in hydrogenation, whereas an enzyme is a biological agent.

What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
When an enzyme and substrate come together, it is called the enzyme-substrate complex. This complex is a temporary intermediate state in which the enzyme binds to the substrate to catalyze a chemical reaction.
The difference between substrate and active site?
A substrate is the molecule that binds to the active site of an enzyme. The active site is a specific region of the enzyme where the substrate binds, leading to a chemical reaction. In other words, the substrate is the molecule being acted upon, while the active site is the location on the enzyme where the reaction takes place.
What is the difference between the lock and key model versus the induced fit model of the enzyme substrate complex?
The lock and key model means that the substrate must perfectly fit the enzyme, and the enzyme does not change. The induced fit model is different as when the substrate fits together with the enzyme, the enzyme itself will change to either join substrates together or break a substrate down.
What is Difference between uncompetitive and non competitive enzyme inhibition?
I believe non competitive antagonists bind to an allosteric site that prevents the enzyme from binding substrate whereas uncompetitive binds and stabilizes the ES complex which slows down the reaction.
In an enzyme catalyzed reaction what is the reactant called?
Generally in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the reactant is called the substrate, which in association with the enzyme forms the product.
Enzyme inhibitors disrupt normal interactions between an enzyme and its what?
substrate
Explain the difference between substrate and active site?
The substrate is the molecule that binds to the active site of an enzyme. The active site is a region on the enzyme where the substrate binds and undergoes a chemical reaction. The specificity of the active site allows only certain substrates to bind and react with the enzyme.
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.///
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
When an enzyme and substrate come together, it is called the enzyme-substrate complex. This complex is a temporary intermediate state in which the enzyme binds to the substrate to catalyze a chemical reaction.
The difference between substrate and active site?
A substrate is the molecule that binds to the active site of an enzyme. The active site is a specific region of the enzyme where the substrate binds, leading to a chemical reaction. In other words, the substrate is the molecule being acted upon, while the active site is the location on the enzyme where the reaction takes place.
What is the relationship between substrate concentration and enzyme activity?
At low substrate concentrations, the rate of enzyme activity is proportional to substrate concentration. The rate eventually reaches a maximum at high substrate concentrations as the active sites become saturated.
What is the difference between the lock and key model versus the induced fit model of the enzyme substrate complex?
The lock and key model means that the substrate must perfectly fit the enzyme, and the enzyme does not change. The induced fit model is different as when the substrate fits together with the enzyme, the enzyme itself will change to either join substrates together or break a substrate down.
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a?
The substrates are converted into products, which are released.
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.
What the definition of Substrate?
The reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Or, A substance with which a enzyme binds itself and form a complex product, a chemical reaction takes place between enzyme and substrate.
