Detailed explanation-1: -In chemistry, it is the medium in which chemical reaction takes place. In other words, this substance is typically the reactant of the chemical reaction. It is the chemical component acted upon the substance and changed it into a new product by the reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -A substrate is a molecule that an enzyme reacts with. The enzyme’s active site, or the location where weak bonds between the two molecules can form, is loaded with a substrate. An enzyme substrate complex is formed, and the enzyme’s pressures on the substrate drive it to react and become the planned reaction’s result.

Detailed explanation-3: -The substrate goes through a chemical reaction and changes into a new molecule called the product-sort of like when a key goes into a lock and the lock opens.

Detailed explanation-4: -An enzyme attracts substrates to its active site, catalyzes the chemical reaction by which products are formed, and then allows the products to dissociate (separate from the enzyme surface). The combination formed by an enzyme and its substrates is called the enzyme–substrate complex.
