A catalyst works by providing a different pathway for the reaction, one that has a lower activation energy than the uncatalyzed pathway. This lower activation energy means that a larger fraction of collisions are successful at a given temperature, leading to an increased reaction rate.

But the catalyst itself is not consumed in the reaction. There are a variety of ways that a catalyst causes the rate to increase. In all cases, the catalyst speeds up a reaction by lowering the activation energy. An enzyme is a substance produced by a living organism that acts a catalyst in biochemical reactions.

Homogeneous catalysts exist in the same phase as the reactants, whereas heterogeneous catalysts exist in a different phase than the reactants. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up biochemical reactions in living organisms, often by many orders of magnitude.
