Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a substrate and a product in a biochemical reaction?

A substrate is the molecule being acted upon by an enzyme, while a product is the resulting molecule formed after the reaction.

How do enzymes increase reaction rates?

Enzymes lower the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, allowing the reaction to proceed faster and more efficiently.
