What else can I help you with?
What is the substance that a catalyst works on?
The substrate on which a catalyst works is called its substrate
What is a reactant that binds to a catalyst?
A reactant that binds to a catalyst is known as a substrate. Substrates bind to the active site of the catalyst, where the chemical reaction takes place. This binding lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
What do you call a substance that accelerates the rate of a chemica reaction?
A substance that accelerates the rate of a chemical reaction is called a catalyst.
What is the difference between a reactant and a catalyst?
A reactant is consumed in a reaction to make products. A catalyst is not consumed during the reaction. It is either not directly involved in the reaction or regenerated upon the end of the reaction. This is the main difference. In addition, catalysts work by decreasing the activation energy for the reaction, allowing the reactants to react more easily.
Is sugar a good catalyst?
Sugar is not a catalyst because it does not participate in the chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy or being consumed in the reaction. It is often used as a reactant or substrate in various biochemical processes instead of a catalyst.
What is the substance that a catalyst works on?
The substrate on which a catalyst works is called its substrate
Are substrate and catalyse the same thing?
No! A substrate is a reagent in a chemical reaction. Catalyse is the verb form of catalyst; a catalyst is a chemical species that participates in lowering the energy barrier of a chemical reaction and allow a reaction to occur more rapidly. A catalyst is not consumed in a reaction and therefore only a small amount of catalyst is required in any reaction (if required at all), whereas a substrate must be present in the proper stoichiometric amount to allow a reaction to proceed as it is consumed.
What is a reactant that binds to a catalyst?
A reactant that binds to a catalyst is known as a substrate. Substrates bind to the active site of the catalyst, where the chemical reaction takes place. This binding lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.

Why a catalyst is not involved chemically in chemical reaction?
The catalyst is not a reactant; a catalyst only favors a chemical reaction, the reaction rate and yield.
Are substrate and reactant the same or different?
Actually a substrate is a reactant. It undergoes a chemical reaction to yield a product. The difference is that a catalyst acts upon it to increment the rate of the reaction (by reducing the activation energy required).
What is an enzyme complex substrate?
An enzyme-substrate complex uses the reactants(substrates) and the enzyme. The enzyme is like a catalyst that reduces the required activation energy and speeds up the chemical reaction.
What term describe a substance that lowers the amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
Catalyst
Is catalyst a product of chemical reaction?
No a catalyst is unchanged by a chemical reaction, it does however serve to speed up the rate of the reaction.
Which component is affected when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction?
The component affected when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction is the reactants. The purpose of a catalyst is to speed up a reaction.
