Catalysts

speed up the rate of the reaction.

lowers the energy input required for a chemical reaction to happen remains unchanged at the end of the reaction

Enzymes
Enzymes are Biological catalysts Enzymes control chemical reactions that take place in the cytoplasm.

Catalase in an example of an enzyme made by living cells

Catalase
The enzyme catalase breaks down the waste substance hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide catalase oxygen +water

Enzyme activity
Temperature and pH affect the activity of an enzyme.

Optimum Condition
Enzymes function best or are most active in specific conditions known as optimum conditions.

Properties of enzymes
Speed up reactions. Made of protein. Are specific. Not used up during the reaction. Require optimum conditions at which they work best. At high temperature they become denatured
