  • Enzymes and Catalysts: Understanding Biological Reaction Accelerators
    The terms that refer to a protein that catalyzes chemical reactions in organisms are:

    * Enzyme - This is the most common and general term.

    * Catalyst - This term is more general and can refer to any substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed in the process. Enzymes are biological catalysts.

    * Biocatalyst - This term specifically emphasizes that the catalyst is a biological molecule.

    It's important to note that while most enzymes are proteins, there are some enzymes that are made of RNA, called ribozymes.
