A. What part of the chemical reaction was the enzyme? What part was the substrate? How can you tell them apart?

Solution

We know that catalysts are the substances that accelerate the rate of chemical reaction without themselves undergoing any changes in the reaction. Enzymes are highly specialised proteins that act as catalyst in biological systems.they are heat labile and water soluble. In the reaction the substance on which an enzyme act is called as substrate.the enzyme converts the substrate into product. For example the lactic acid converted into pyruvic acid with the help of enzyme lactate dehydrogenase, hear lactic acid is the substrate.pyruvic acid is the product.
