No, biological catalysts are called enzymes and they are proteins. The enzyme called "amylase" which is found in your saliva breaks down starch molecules into glucose monomers.

When glucose mix with dis-odium hydrogen phosphate with deionized water what happen?
When glucose is mixed with dis-odium hydrogen phosphate with deionized water, there will be a chemical reaction. The deionized water acts as a catalyst to create the foaming that will occur.
What term describes a substance rhat lowers the amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
This substance is called a catalyst.
How many water molecules would be released in a reaction when 10 glucose molecules are linked together?
Amylase is a catalyst (enzime).Amylose is the polysaccharide.
Is MnO a catalyst?
Yes, it is a chemical catalyst.
Is copper a catalyst?
yeap, a heat catalyst
What catalyst in digestion turns starch into glucose?
Enzymes

What products are formed by breaking up sucroseWhat role does the acid play?
when sucrose is broken down in a body, it is changed into glucose. this works the same way with fructose, which also becomes glucose. acid will probably act as some sort of a catalyst or maybe it helps break it down.

This substance is called a catalyst.
What is a substance that speeds up a reaction?
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.
A substance that speeds up rate of a chemical reaction?
Catalyst, biocatalyst or enzyme.
How many water molecules would be released in a reaction when 10 glucose molecules are linked together?
Amylase is a catalyst (enzime).Amylose is the polysaccharide.
Which does a catalyst not change?
Catalyst is not a reactant.
Molecules which serve as chemicals to make reactions work - like the break down of food molecules?
Enymes will speed up or slow down a chemical reaction,whilst remaining chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction eg Hexokinase activates phosphrolation of glucose,isomerase activates isomeration of glucose to fructose,amylase,which is present in saliva,breaks down starch. VERY SIMPLE EXAMPLE OF A CHEMICAL REACTION ACTIVATED BY A CATALYST(Catalyst is a term that may be used to descibe a chemical that acts in the same way as an enzymes,usually in an industrial text. MnO2 +2H2O2---- MnO2 +H2O+02 MnO2 is the catalyst
Catalyst vs one without catalyst What is different?
what is the purpose of catalyst in textile paint?
What are the reactants and products of photosythesis?
The basic equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + uv Energy (+Chlorophyl catalyst)-------> C6H1206 + 6O2 So, the reactants are Carbon Dioxide and water and the products glucose and oxygen.
What is the difference between a homogeneous catalyst and a heterogeneous catalyst?
The difference between a homogeneous and a heterogeneous catalyst is that in a heterogeneous catalyst, it is in a different phase from the reactants. However, in a homogeneous catalyst, it is in the same phase as the reactants.
