Prince
A substrate is a specific food substance on which a specific enzymes act on catalyzing it's breakdown. An increase in substrate concentration increases the rate of enzyme reaction,since there will be more substrate molecules to combine with the enzyme active sites. Once all the enzyme active sites are fully occupied by the substrate molecules, the rate of enzyme reaction remains constant.
