As most catalysts are quite specific in the (or at least the type of) reaction, in others not working at all, I can't give an answer for 'your acetone-reaction'. But to my best knowledge there are very few reactions I can think of being catalysed by acetone; never heard of, you know.
That is the function of a catalyst.
Catalysts speed up the chemical reaction.
It decreases the amount of energy needed for the reaction.
THat is a good question. Currently carbohydrates can not serve as catalyst and would be a great discovery if they did. Currently proteins, DNA, and RNA only have catalystic properties. -Organic Chemist
It acts as an catalyst and activate the rate of reaction.
CAtalyst
yes
A catalyst.
acetone used to absorb light in order to produce chemical energy in form of ATP
Only if there is a desperate housing shortage! More seriously, a catalyst for a desired reaction can function by inhibiting competing reactions.
Enzymes function as cell catalysts.
