Catalysts
A catalyst accelerates a reaction by reducing the activation energy or the amount of energy necessary for a reaction to occur. The catalyst is not used up in the reaction and can be collected at completion of the reaction. Various substances can be catalysts. Common examples include metals and proteins (protein catalysts are called enzymes).
