Catalysts
speed up the rate of the reaction.
lowers the energy input required for a chemical
reaction to happen
remains unchanged at the end of the reaction
When you think of a catalyst think of a fire!
Enzymes
 Enzymes are Biological catalysts

Enzymes control chemical reactions that
take place in the cytoplasm.
Catalase in an example of an enzyme made
by living cells
Catalase
 The enzyme catalase breaks down
the waste substance hydrogen
peroxide into water and oxygen.

Properties of enzymes
1. Speed up reactions.
2. Made of protein.
3. Are specific.
4. Not used up during the reaction.
5. Require optimum conditions at which
best.
they work
6. At high temperature they become denatured
(they break down)
