Just about every reaction in our bodies is regulated by an enzyme. The word enzyme is just another word for catalyst.

What is a biological catalyst that can be found in the cells of your body?

Enzymes are biological catalysts that can be found in the cells of your body. They help to speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Enzymes are essential for various cellular processes and metabolic activities.

What is a catalyst in the human body called?

A catalyst in the human body is more commonly known as an enzyme. An enzyme is responsible for speeding up chemical reactions in the body and without them, reactions would take place to slowly to support life.


What is the difference between an enzyme and a substrate?

Answer 1Catalysts are any agents that either speed up the chemical reactions or involved in reaction without themselves undergoing any apparent change. They may be proteins or other non proteins, chemical, metals etc. Enzymes are biocatalysts produced by the cells, which are globular proteinsAll enzymes are catalyst and not all catalysts are enzymes.Answer 2The answer to this is an enzyme is organic meaning we make them, and a catalyst is non-organic, meaning we don't make them i.e. copper, silver, metal and so forth. Enzymes are proteins that are catalysts to the chemical reaction.Answer #3 (by: xDGoMuSiCxD)An enzyme is a catalyst, but a catalyst is not an enzyme. An enzyme is a protein that speeds up and/or causes chemical reactions to happen fast enough for a living thing (or an organism) to survive. For example, heat is a catalyst, but not an enzyme. Another example is an amylase is both an enzyme and a catalyst. All cells in living things have need enzymes. For example, both potato and liver tissue need enzymes. I hope that helpedAnother AnswerSame as above, but a catalyst does not always need be an organic compound. It can be a coordinated metal, for example, RhCl(PPh3)3 involved in hydrogenation, whereas an enzyme is a biological agent.

Why does peroxide fizz when you put it in your ear?

Nearly every cell in the body produces and enzyme called catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas, forming bubbles. This enzyme can even be found inside the ear.


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.
