Catalysts are substances which speed up the rate of reactions, without changing in chemical formula or mass themselves. Enzymes are basically biological catalysts, which break down substances like complex carbohydrates into simple sugars; or long chain proteins into usable amino acids. Without them, these vital reactions would take place too slowly and we would die.
Enzyme is a protein that lowers the activation energy of a reaction. A catalyst is what starts or promotes a reaction and an inhibitor is something that blocks or hinders a reaction from proceeding.
Enzymes are responsible for many things. They break down fat in the body, enhance blood, and they also enhance mental capacity. Enzymes also help people lose large amounts of weight.
Enzymes are a liquid juice from the liver or pancreas to help digest the food better. When the liveris bad , then the digestive system suffers.
Catalysts are compounds that change the speed of chemical reactions. An enzyme is a protein and also a catalyst. So an enzyme can be a catalyst, but a catalyst can't be an enzyme.
i use the catalyst as an enzyme. you should too. -peyton manning.
The opposite of a catalyst is an inhibitor, something that suppresses or slows a reaction.
inhibitor
Catalyst
An enzyme inhibitor is a substance that binds to an enzyme and decreases the enzyme's activity.

A catalyst speeds up a reaction and an inhibitor slows down a reaction
An enzyme has the role of a catalyst but in biochemistry.
umm no. they are opposites. a catalyst will speed up a reaction and an inhibitor will slow it down.
In chemistry it is Inhibitor
The inhibitor interferes with the catalyst in a chemical reaction.
The shape of the active site is distorted.
A negative catalyst is added to a reaction to slow down a process as does an inhibitor. From this you could say that they are equivalent.
Catalyst: a substance which promote and help a chemical reaction. Inhibitor: a substance which greatly reduces the rate of a chemical reaction.
No, that is a catalyst. An enzyme is a type of catalyst, though.
