Understand that catalysts are substances that increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.
Recognize that in biochemical reactions, the catalysts involved are typically biological molecules.
Identify that enzymes are biological catalysts that are proteins in nature and are highly specific to the reactions they catalyze.
Consider the role of enzymes in lowering the activation energy of biochemical reactions, thereby increasing the reaction rate.
Conclude that enzymes are the primary type of catalyst responsible for affecting biochemical reactions, distinguishing them from other types like metal, acid, or base catalysts.
