What is the term for a reactions which substances gains electrons?

When a substance gains an electron or electrons, this is known as "reduction". For every reduction reaction, there is also an oxidation reaction. So, whatever substance "gave" the electrons, underwent oxidation.

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 happens to electrons in a redox reaction?

Electrons are transferred from one reactant (reducing agent) to another (oxidizing agent). The reducing agent loses electrons (oxidation) and the oxidizing agent gains electrons (reduction). This electron transfer results in the generation of electrical energy or a chemical change in the substances involved in the reaction.


A part substance or element that lies beneath and supports another part substance or element the reactant in reactions catalyzed by enzymes?

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.


What term is used to describe a bond formed when one atom gains electrons while the other atom loses electrons?

A type of bond in which one atom gains electrons and one atom loses electrons is an ionic bond.


During enzme-catalyzed actions substrate is a synonym for?

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.

What do you call the rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction?

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.
