H20 + CO2 = H2CO3

They are both substrates because after the chemical reaction takes place, enzymes are never effected and wait for the next substrate. Enzymes can be damaged though but never change.
H20 and C02 = Substrates
H2CO3 = product
H20 and C02 = Substrates
H2CO3 = product

a substrate is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts. Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions involving the substrate(s). In the case of a single substrate, the substrate binds with the enzyme active site, and an enzyme-substrate complex is formed. The substrate is transformed into one or more products, which are then released from the active site. The active site is now free to accept another substrate molecule. In the case of more than one substrate, these may bind in a particular order to the active site, before reacting together to produce products.
