No; a catalyst is used to speed up a reaction, and catalysts should remain in their initial states at the end of a reaction.
Catalysts include:
Fe
Ni
H2SO4
H3PO4
** a system may act as a catalyst for altering water by definition the G7 water catalyst is such.

∙ 13y agono, because a catalyst speeds up an chemical reaction without being consumed. oxygen doesn't speed them up, but it CAUSES the reaction and is consumed

∙ 13y agoSaliva itself is not a catalyst but its contains the enzyme amylase, which is a catalyst.

What name is given to a biological catalyst found in saliva?
The enzyme amylase is a biological catalyst found in saliva. It catalyzes the breakdown of starch. Note that not everyone secretes the enzyme amylase in their saliva.
What is a real life example of using a catalyst?
Catalysts - digestive enzymes, saliva, laundry stain removers2. Inhibitors -food preservations, substances in slow-release medications, refrigeration
Is glucose a catalyst?
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.
What are examples of catalyst?
Examples of some common catalysts are:Manganese dioxide: in decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide and Potassium chlorateSulfuric acid: in some esterification reactionsVanadium(V) oxide: in oxidation of sulfur dioxide to trioxideetc.
What term describes a substance rhat lowers the amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
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.
What does amylase catalyse?
The saliva from the parotid gland releases enzymes called amylases into the mouth. One of the amylase enzmyes, ptyalin, acts as a catalyst in starting the digestion of some carbohydrates before they are even swallowed.
Which does a catalyst not change?
Catalyst is not a reactant.
Catalyst vs one without catalyst What is different?
what is the purpose of catalyst in textile paint?
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.
