A catalyst alters (usually increases) the speed of a chemical reaction in which there is no net change in the amount of catalyst present after reaction is complete.
When reactants are joined by a catalyst, they no longer have to collide with much energy to react. Thus, with the catalyst present the reaction can proceed at very low temperatures.
Less Ea.
A catalyst is a substance that accelerates a chemical reaction. It does this by lowering the activation energy necessary for that reaction to start. A catalyst is not a reactant or a product, and it does not get used up in a reaction. It is simply present with the reactants and the products and it does not change in a reaction. In an equation, it is correct to show the chemical formula for the catalyst in small characters above the "yield" arrow. The opposite of catalyst is inhibitor.
A catalyst is a substance which speeds up the rate of reaction. After the reaction it remain chemically unchanged. It does NOT affect the position of equilibrium. There can also be negative or "poisoned" catalysts as in Rosenmunds reaction.

A catalyst reduces the amount of activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction.

No! A substrate is a reagent in a chemical reaction. Catalyse is the verb form of catalyst; a catalyst is a chemical species that participates in lowering the energy barrier of a chemical reaction and allow a reaction to occur more rapidly. A catalyst is not consumed in a reaction and therefore only a small amount of catalyst is required in any reaction (if required at all), whereas a substrate must be present in the proper stoichiometric amount to allow a reaction to proceed as it is consumed.

It's called a catalyst. A catalyst is present during a chemical reaction but does not participate as a reactant or product. A catalyst lowers the reaction's activation energy, making the reaction easier to happen. In the equation for a chemical reaction, the catalyst's formula appears in small notation above the "yield" arrow (format won't let me show you an example.) An example of a catalyst is potassium iodide (KI) speeding up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

A catalyst is something present in a reaction that is not consumed. It works by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction. It isn't necessarily a chemical, though. It can be an element, chemical, heat, or UV light, just to name a few.
In chemistry - a catalyst - is a chemical added to an experiment to speed the reaction - without combining with any of the chemicals present.
