What are catalysts? What's their function?

Biology
2 answers:
Alex Ar [27]2 years ago

Catalysts work by providing an alternative mechanism involving a different transition state and lower activation energy. Consequently, more molecular collisions have the energy needed to reach the transition state. Hence, catalysts can enable reactions that would otherwise be blocked or slowed by a kinetic barrier.

Answer:

A catalyst is a substance that can be added to a reaction to increase the reaction rate without getting consumed in the process. Catalysts typically speed up a reaction by reducing the activation energy or changing the reaction mechanism. Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions.

<span>Just like with the other body systems, excessive alcohol can have lethal effects on the cardiovascular system.

Other problems are prominent with blood clotting and an increased workload of the heart that is linked to cirrhosis of the liver.</span>
