Answer:

It means that it lowers the activation energy of a reaction and can be used again.

Step-by-step explanation:

A catalyst is a substance that allows the chemical reaction to occur at a faster rate or under different conditions (e.g. at a lower temperature) without being affected by the reaction.

The activation energy is the minimum energy required for the reaction to occur.
