Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In a reaction that uses enzymes, a reactant is called the
A
Active site
B
Substrate
C
Activation Energy
D
Products
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To catalyze a reaction, an enzyme will grab on (bind) to one or more reactant molecules. These molecules are the enzyme’s substrates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes bind with chemical reactants called substrates. There may be one or more substrates for each type of enzyme, depending on the particular chemical reaction. In some reactions, a single-reactant substrate is broken down into multiple products.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -In biochemistry, the substances with which the enzymes react to are called substrates. In ecology, the substrate is known as the foundation to which an immobile substance is attached. In simple words, the substrate is the surface or material from which an organism grows or obtains its nourishment.
