A substrate is the underlying substance or layer that supports or is the surface on which an organism grows or is attached, or it is the substance on which an enzyme acts in biochemical reactions. Understanding substrates is crucial in fields such as biology, chemistry, and environmental science as they influence the behavior and interaction of organisms and reactions.
