What is an organic catalyst?

A catalyst for an organic chemistry reaction would be any substance that speeds up the reaction. This would include metals such as platinum, palladium, mercury, zinc, and even certain acids. It must be noted that the catalyst varies for every reaction. An organically based catalyst (a catalyst made of carbon) would be an enzyme, coenzyme, or a vitamin. You can be an organic catalyst by being the change you wish to see in the world.
