What name is given to the reactants in an enzymatically catalyzed reaction? a) active sites b) reactors c) EA d) products e) substrate

e) Substrate

Explanation:

An enzyme substrate binds to the enzymes active site which speeds up a reaction, forming an enzyme-substrate complex. Enzyme catalyzes the reaction and form a product from a specific substrate resulting in an enzyme-product complex. They are highly specific and each can only catalyze and bind to its own specific substrate or reactant.

Eg; Starch is a substrate (reactant) which is converted to maltose! (Product) by amylase enzyme.
