Substrate is the earthy material that forms or collects at the bottom of an aquatic habitat. It is made of sediments that may consist of: Silt – A loose, granular material with mineral particles 0.5 mm or less in diameter.
In the former sense, a reagent is added to the substrate to generate a product through a chemical reaction.

In biochemistry, an enzyme substrate is the material upon which an enzyme acts.
The rhizosphere is the narrow region of soil or substrate that is directly influenced by root secretions and associated soil microorganisms known as the root microbiome. [2] Soil pores in the rhizosphere can contain many bacteria and other microorganisms that feed on sloughed-off plant cells, termed rhizodeposition , [ 3 ] and the proteins and ...

Aristotle defined a hypokeimenon in narrowly and purely grammatical terms, as something which cannot be a predicate of other things, but which can carry other things as its predicates.
Substrate is a term used in materials science and engineering to describe the base material on which processing is conducted. Surfaces have different uses, including producing new film or layers of material and being a base to which another substance is bonded.
An antonym is one of a pair of words with opposite meanings. Each word in the pair is the antithesis of the other. A word may have more than one antonym. There are three categories of antonyms identified by the nature of the relationship between the opposed meanings.
