Enzymes are organic catalysts. A catalyst is a chemical that controls the rate of a reaction, but is itself not used up in the process. Reactions that are accelerated due to the presence of enzymes are known as enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

Is manganese dioxide a catalyst?
Enzymes are boilogical catalysts or assistants that speed up chemical reactions with out changing all enzymes are catalysts but not all catalysts are enzymes.Manganese oxide is not an enzyme but is a catalyst it is also a mineral. Thank you.
What is the name for the catalyst?
Enzymes
What is a biological catalyst that lowers the activation energy of reaction in cells?
It is an enzyme.
How is the term catalyst related to the term enzymes?
Both speed up chemical reactions, enzyme is a type of catalyst.
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.
What type of organic compound is a catalyst?
Enzymes.
What class of organic molecules includes biological catalysts?
organic catalysts made of protein are called enzymes (these are usually made by living things)nonprotein based organic catalysts are simply called organic catalysts (these are usually synthesized artificially)
What are chemical reactions that are regulated by organic catalyst called?
enzymes
Is enzyme the same as a catalyst?
Enzymes are organic catalysts made by living things.
Is catalyst the same as enzyme?
Enzymes are organic catalysts made by living things.
What type of organic molecule are enzymes?
the type of organic molecule an enzyme is would be a protien
What is organic catalyst which hasten a chemical reaction without itself being affected in the process?
Enzymes
What molecule acts as a catalyst in living things?
Enzymes are the organic molecules that act as biological catalysts.
Does liver tissue contain a catalyst?
No, the liver tissue contains an enzyme, which are a type of catalyst. Enzymes are organic and are made in living organisms where as catalyst aren't made of carbon and are not made by living organisms.
What organic molecule seeds up chemical reactions?
Chemical reactions are speeded up by enzymes (= proteins, = organic molecules) or more in general: by catalyst
Is manganese dioxide a catalyst?
Enzymes are boilogical catalysts or assistants that speed up chemical reactions with out changing all enzymes are catalysts but not all catalysts are enzymes.Manganese oxide is not an enzyme but is a catalyst it is also a mineral. Thank you.
What causes molecules to change?
I think this refers to catalysts as these are considered not to be changed by a reaction-- sometimes this true when molecules react on the surface of a catalyst bu sometimes the catalyst does get involved in the chemical reaction- but is regenerated.
