A reagent is a substance or
compound added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or added to test if a
reaction occurs. The terms reactant and reagent are often used
interchangeably—however, a reactant is more specifically a substance consumed
in the course of a chemical reaction. Solvents, though involved in the reaction,
are usually not called reactants. Similarly, catalysts are not consumed by the
reaction, so they are not reactants. In biochemistry, especially in connection
with enzyme-catalyzed reactions, the reactants are commonly called substrates.
