The molecule an enzyme acts on is called the
A
instigator
B
solvent
C
solute
D
substrate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are proteins that act upon substrate molecules and decrease the activation energy necessary for a chemical reaction to occur by stabilizing the transition state.

Detailed explanation-2: -substrate: A reactant in a chemical reaction is called a substrate when acted upon by an enzyme. induced fit: Proposes that the initial interaction between enzyme and substrate is relatively weak, but that these weak interactions rapidly induce conformational changes in the enzyme that strengthen binding.

Detailed explanation-3: -The name of the molecule on which an enzyme works is called a. Substrate. This molecule can also be called as a reactant. For example, in glycolysis, the substrate molecule during the first step is glucose.
