What is the effect of a catalyst on a chemical reaction?
To Cause a Chemical reaction. A properly chosen, specific catalyst is able to speed up the rate of a particular chemical reaction.

Why are catalysts reaction specific Iethey are different for different chemical reactions How catalyst modifies the rate of a chemical reaction Why don't they take part react in the chemical reaction?
Catalysis reaction are the generic potential energy. Chemical reactions is the process that leads to the transformation of a set chemical.
An enzyme is a special kind of catalyst that works to do what?
speed up chemical reaction because of the lowered activation energy
What is a catalyst in biology?
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction. Example: An enzyme, which helps break down food. There are many different types of enzymes for specific types of foods. An enzyme is a type of catalyst.
Function of catalyst and inhibitor in reaction kinetic?
A catalyst provides a reaction pathway with a lower activation energy and so directs the reaction one specific way or accelerates the reaction. An inhibitor blocks a reaction path and so prevents a product or slows down the reaction.
What are the characteristic of catalyst?
Only small quantity is need for a reaction They are specific. One catalyst is need for specific reaction only Physical properties may change during a reaction but no it does not take part in the reaction.
What chemical reactions within the body sometimes require special proteins called to catalyze the reaction?
The (general) name of proteins that makes chemical reactions inside the body work is 'enzyme'. Enzymes have a 'catalyst' function. There is one for each specific biological reaction.
A chemical reaction in a living cell occurs in the presence of a specific protein molecule?
The specific protein molecule in a cell acts as a catalyst, facilitating the chemical reaction to occur more efficiently or at a faster rate. The protein molecule binds with the reactants, stabilizes the transition state, and lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed. Without the presence of this protein molecule, the reaction may occur, but at a significantly slower rate.
How can you change the rate of chemical change in a substance?
This is a very vague question and would depend on the chemical that you are talking about. The easiest way I can think to explain it on a wide variety of chemicals is by using a catalyst (speeds up the process of a chemical reaction), or the use of an antagonist (Slows a chemical reaction). I hope this helps, but without any specific chemicals being named this is the best i can do. :) By heating we can change the rate of chemical change(reaction).
What is the symbol of catalyst?
you cannot. A catalyst is not a single substance, any chemical reaction can have many different catalysts. Usually these are (different) enzymes, but for instance metal ions or metalic particles can act as catalysts too. Otherwise, you can find catalysts at the chemists.
What are three properties of catalysts?
In a general sense, a catalyst is able to lower the activation energy required for a reaction and lower the time required to reach the transition state of the reactants. The catalyst is also not consumed during the reaction, so it can be used repeatedly.
