Hello! A substrate is a reactant that is catalyzed by an enzyme. A substrate binds to an active site, and enzymes bind to the substrate. Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

a reactant that is catalyzed by an enzyme

Step-by-step explanation:

A substrate, or reactant is a substance which catalyse by an enzyme to give products. Each substrate has an active site on which the enzyme binds to make substrate-enzyme complex. The enzyme does not involve in the reaction and released as it after changing substrate into product.
