Are catalyst always enzymes?

No, not all catalysts are enzymes. Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate chemical reactions in living organisms. Catalysts can be either biological (like enzymes) or synthetic (like transition metals or acid-base catalysts) and they work by lowering the activation energy of a reaction to speed it up.


Catalyst are always enzyme it's true or false?

False . Catalysts can be many things ; enzymes and transition elements and their compounds , for example .So Enzymes are always catalysts but Catalysts are NOT always enzymes .


Enzymes are catalysts. How do enzymes increase the reaction rate?

Enzymes are natural catalysts, these natural catalysts speed up reactions.


Why enzymes are made up of proteins?

Enzymes are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes.


How are enzymes and catalysts different?

Enzymes are a specific type of catalyst that are biological molecules, typically proteins, which speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. While all enzymes are catalysts, not all catalysts are enzymes; catalysts can also be inorganic substances, such as metals or metal oxides, that facilitate reactions. Enzymes are highly specific to their substrates and often require cofactors or coenzymes to function, whereas catalysts can generally work on a broader range of substrates without such requirements. Additionally, enzymes are sensitive to environmental conditions such as temperature and pH, while many inorganic catalysts are more stable under varying conditions.
