Yes, they are called enzymes. Not only do they enhance the rate of the specific chemical reaction, also they do this with "a 100% YIELD" - that is (i. e.) with no waste byproducts! { The True Source of Their Power }

What are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in organisms called?
We call these enzymes but there are ones in chemical reactions which do the same but are called catalysts.
What compounds carry out a chemical reaction?
Practically all chemical compounds can react. Compounds that help chemical reactions are called catalysts.
All chemical breakdown processes in cells directly involved?
reactions that are controlled by catalysts
What are the large complex protein molecules that modify chemical reactions?
The large complex protein molecules that modify chemical reactions are called enzymes. Enzymes act as catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They bind to specific molecules called substrates and facilitate the conversion of substrates into products.
What carries out and controls a variety of chemical reactions?
Compounds that help chemical reactions are called catalysts.
What molecules speeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation?
Enzymes are the molecules that speed up chemical reactions, and these are forms of catalysts.
What chemical reactions are often aided by protein catalysts known as enzymes?
These are the chemical reactions occuring in living organisms.
What speeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation?
Enzymes are the molecules that speed up chemical reactions, and these are forms of catalysts.
What speeds up chemical reactions by lowing activation energy?
catalysts or enzymes which speed up chemical reactions in organisms
What are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in organisms called?
We call these enzymes but there are ones in chemical reactions which do the same but are called catalysts.
What are molecules called that control all chemical reactions in the body?
I don't know about controlling ALL chemical reactions in the body, but biological catalysts are known as enzymes.
What group of biological molecules can speed up chemical reactions by lowering a reactions activation energy?
Biological catalysts are called 'enzymes'.
What effects do catalysts have on chemical rections?
Catalysts generally speed up chemical reactions.
How do catalysts differ from inhibitors?
Inhibitors slow down chemical reactions. Catalysts speed up reactions.
What speeds up chemical reaction by lowering activation energy?
Enzymes are the molecules that speed up chemical reactions, and these are forms of catalysts.
Speed up chemical reactions?
