Detailed explanation-1: -substrate: A reactant in a chemical reaction is called a substrate when acted upon by an enzyme.

Detailed explanation-2: -The substance which reacts with the enzyme to form the product is called substrate. The part of the enzyme where the substrate binds is called the active site. The enzyme reacts with the substrate to form enzyme-substrate complex followed by formation of the product.

Detailed explanation-3: -An enzyme will interact with only one type of substance or group of substances, called the substrate, to catalyze a certain kind of reaction. Because of this specificity, enzymes often have been named by adding the suffix “-ase” to the substrate’s name (as in urease, which catalyzes the breakdown of urea).
