differentiate between a catalyst and an enzyme? where in a cell would u look for an enzyme?

Answer 1

All enzymes are catalysts, but all catalysts are not enzymes. A catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed. Enzymes are proteins which function as catalysts. They can be found in all parts of a cell.

Answer 2

A catalyst is anything that can lower the activation enthalpy of a reaction and change the rate of reaction.

An enzyme is a kind of catalyst, and it is a protein with specific shape and specific active site. Amino bonds are formed between the substrate and the enzyme. This complex is called enzyme-substrate complex.

Enzymes are found every where in the cell...in the cytoplasm and nucleus....

Answer 3

Catalysts are anything that speeds up a reaction without taking part in the reaction.
eg; In the preparation of Ethanol or ALCOHOL, invertase and zymase are catalysts.
Any Bio-Catalysts are called enzymes.
So, u can defenitely say tat invertase and zymase are also enzymes.

You can conclude that all enzymes are catalysts but not vice-versa.


We could get an enzyme from many places in a cell. It will change according to the property of the cell.

Answer 4

one million. A catalyst is something that hurries up the speed of a reaction. This reaction should be inorganic, organic and organic or biochemical. 2. Enzymes are proteins that ought to p.c. up biochemical reactions. 3. you'll come across enzymes (quite a lot) all cells of an organism.

Answer 5

a catalyst is an agent that is required to help chemical reactions to take place easily...it doesn't take part in the chemical reaction... an enzyme is also a catalyst as in biological molecule that speds up chemical reactions inside the body....

Answer 6

an enzyme IS a catalyst.
