A biological catalyst increases the rate of biological processes/biological reactions.
A biological catalyst (enzymes) act to lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction.
Enzymes are bilogical catalysts that bind or separate substrates (chemicals the catalysts act on). the 'lock and key' model suggests that the enzyme doesn't change its form and only similarly shaped substrates can fit into the lock or cleft. it is similar to the toy children play with where you must fit the circular block into the circular hole and so on. The 'induced fit' model says thatthe enzyme molds itself around the substrate and separates or binds it from there. hope i helped!

When an enzyme affects a chemical reaction it its acting as a biological?
It is acting as a biological catalyst.
The role of a catalyst?
A catalyst is a substance which alters the rate of a chemical reaction but is chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction. basically it increases or decreases the speed of a chemical or biological reaction, but it does not get itself involved in the reaction. hoped this helped (:
The primary function of an enzyme or any biological catalyst is to?
Enzymes speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering activation energy, and are not used up in the reaction.
What effect does a catalyst have?
a catalyst has no effect in chemical reaction. it only increases or decreases the rate of the chemical reaction.
Catalyst at work in the body?
Biological catalysts in organisms are called enzymes.

What is a substance that speeds up the chemical reaction pernmanently changing?
Catalyst. Biological catalysts would be enzymes.
What effect does a catalyst have?
a catalyst has no effect in chemical reaction. it only increases or decreases the rate of the chemical reaction.
Why a catalyst is not involved chemically in chemical reaction?
The catalyst is not a reactant; a catalyst only favors a chemical reaction, the reaction rate and yield.
Protein molecule that can speed up a chemical reaction?
That would be an enzyme. Also know as a biological Catalyst
Catalyst at work in the body?
Biological catalysts in organisms are called enzymes.
What is a Catalyst mean in chemistry?
In Biology, a catalyst is a substance which speeds up a chemical reaction, without being changed themselves. Biological catalysts are found in living organisms.
What does a biological catalyst do?
they speed up a reaction
Is catalyst a product of chemical reaction?
No a catalyst is unchanged by a chemical reaction, it does however serve to speed up the rate of the reaction.
Which component is affected when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction?
The component affected when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction is the reactants. The purpose of a catalyst is to speed up a reaction.
