A catalyst/enzyme helps out in chemical reactions, but it isn't chemically bonded in the process.

Catalysts called enzymes are important in biology. Acatalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. The rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.

THANK ME LATER ;D
