What is catalist?
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.
What are the features of catalyst?
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.
Why do catalyst allow the chemical reaction take place at 0 Celsius?
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.
Do catalyzed or uncatalyzed reactions require more activiation energy?
Catalyzed reaction has a lower activation energy because there is an enzyme present in the reaction. Uncatalyzed reaction has a higher activation energy because there is no enzyme present in the reaction.
How does the present of a catalyst affect the rate of reactions?
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.
When a catalyst is present and more or less activation energy is needed to start a chemical rection?
A catalyst reduces the amount of activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction.
When a catalyst is present more less activation energy is needed to start a chemical reaction?
Less Ea.
Is the activation energy for chemical reactions in living things high or low?
Activation energy of reaction is the same regardless if it is in living organism or in test tube. Yet, the energy of activation can be lowered if catalyst is present. In living things catalyst lower the energy needed for chemical reactions.

What substance increases the rate of a reaction but is not itself changed by the reaction?
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).
What Chemical speeds up a reaction but is unaffeccted by overall reaction?
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.
What are the salient features of catalyst?
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.

Are substrate and catalyse the same thing?
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.
Do catalyzed or uncatalyzed reactions require more activiation energy?
Catalyzed reaction has a lower activation energy because there is an enzyme present in the reaction. Uncatalyzed reaction has a higher activation energy because there is no enzyme present in the reaction.
