since enzymes are found in the body,earlier they were belived to be related to life processes. however the organic molecules can also be produced outside the body through inorganic processes. a catalyst helps in speeding up the reaction.here the enzymes play as catylyst in the body for various metabolic pathways.
Catalysts (including enzymes) work by lowering the activation energy of a reaction so that more reactants can be converted to products. They are not used up themselves in the reaction and do not affect the equilibrium. They only speed up the rate at which equilibrium is achieved.
Enzymes Are Classified As
a catalyst is something that makes a reaction go faster than it normally would. An enzyme is a catalyst; it has all the parts for the reaction on it and help organic materials break down or transfer energy or whatever reaction it needs.
A catalyst is a compound that participates in and increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being chemically altered itself. These reactions can be anything from inorganic reactions in fuel cells facilitated by metal catalysts, to the breakdown of glucose in cells by a series of biological catalysts. Biological catalysts operate in biological systems made up of organic molecules (and are made up of organic molecules themselves - mostly carbon)... thus it's logical to think of enzymes as organic catalysts.
