(For a bit of context I will use the reaction between HCl and Mg as an example)
The larger the surface area of the magnesium metal, the more particles are exposed to collide with the aqueous HCl particles to cause the reaction to occur. This increases the frequency per second of collisions, speeding up the rate of reaction.
The effect of a catalyst is to reduce the minimum collision energy which allows the reaction to happen. This does not increase the number of collisions per second, but increases the percentage of successful collisions, which consequently causes the rate of reaction to increase .
I have drawn diagrams showing the effect of surface area, but there isn't really a meaningful diagram that I know of to show the impact of a catalyst (at least not at GCSE level).

Chiral center is the center where all the attached substituents are different. For example, a carbon is said to be chiral carbon if it is attached to four different substituents.
The structure of threonine is attached here.
The marked carbons are chiral carbons because they have all the 4 different substituents.
