These substances are called catalysts.
No. That is one of the definitions of an enzyme. It is NOT altered in the reaction.
True
Physical reactions mean that the substance hasn't been altered in terms of its composition. For example, liquid water turning into an ice cube is a physical change. It is still H2O - just different form. However, burning paper is chemical change, since ash + H2O + CO2 is not paper.
Chemical weathering.
Chemical weathering
Matter that does not enter chemical reactions is described as inert. This type of matter cannot be altered by chemical reactions.
No. That is one of the definitions of an enzyme. It is NOT altered in the reaction.
True
Enzymes speed up the chemical reactions because when it forms a complex with its substrates, it reduces the activation energy that the reaction needs to proceed. Remember that the reaction itself is not altered, only the rate of reaction, and that the enzyme is not used or altered in the reactions.

A compound can be separated from a mixture without being chemically altered; the separation of elements from a compound need chemical reactions.
No. A catalyst helps a reaction to occur but usually remains unchanged itself. Enzymes are catalysts that either remain unchanged or are returned to their original state by other biological reactions.
Enzyme, a substance that acts as a catalyst in living organisms, regulating the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without itself being altered in the process.

Enzymes are a type of protein that significantly speed up the rate of chemical reactions within cells. They are vital for life and serve a wide range of important functions in the body, such as aiding in digestion and metabolism. Enzyme is also a catalyst that regulates the rate at which chemical reactions proceed in living organisms without itself being altered in the process.
