Biological catalysts in organisms are called enzymes.
a biological catalyst that can be found in the cells of your body is called a Enzyme
Enzyme
A substance that accelerates a chemical reaction is called a catalyst. Catalysts work by lowering the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur, which speeds up the reaction without being consumed in the process.
The (general) name of proteins that makes chemical reactions inside the body work is 'enzyme'. Enzymes have a 'catalyst' function. There is one for each specific biological reaction.
The definition of a catalyst is that it is something that speeds up a reaction without being used up itself. Therefore every reaction that takes place in the body that requires a catalyst/enzyme will do so, but the catalyst will remain intact at the end. Therefore the body does not have to keep making enzymes all the time. It only needs to replace the ones that are oxidized or otherwise degraded. (A catalyst can also slow down a reaction.)

To increase the speed of the metabolic reaction taking place in our body
A catalyst changes the path of reaction mechanism and decreases the activation energy required by the reactants.
Plant vacuoles contain hydrolytic enzymes and these are not found in your body.
Catalysts work by lowering the "start-up" energy of a reaction.
