Catalysts save time and energy in chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. This acceleration allows processes to happen more quickly and efficiently, often at lower temperatures and pressures. Additionally, catalysts can enhance yields and reduce the formation of byproducts, making chemical processes more sustainable and cost-effective.
Catalysts are classified into several types based on their states and functions. They can be categorized as homogeneous catalysts, which exist in the same phase (liquid or gas) as the reactants, and heterogeneous catalysts, which are in a different phase, often solid. Additionally, catalysts can be classified based on their function, such as acid-base catalysts, redox catalysts, and enzyme catalysts in biological systems. Another classification is based on the mechanism, including contact catalysts and supported catalysts.
There are mainly two types of catalysts: homogeneous catalysts, which are in the same phase as the reactants, and heterogeneous catalysts, which are in a different phase. Homogeneous catalysts are usually dissolved in the same solvent as the reactants, while heterogeneous catalysts are typically solid catalysts in contact with the reactants.
Enzymes are natural catalysts, these natural catalysts speed up reactions.
Catalysts help chemical reactions: the activation energy is lowered, the reaction rate is accelerated. Catalysts are not exhausted in the reaction and are recyclable.
Because they are more efficient.
but all catalysts aren't enzymes...
Enzymes are catalysts.

Of course not, catalysts doesn't react.
Enzymes are natural catalysts, these natural catalysts speed up reactions.
Without catalysts many chemical reactions cannot occur; biological catalysts are called enzymes.
