Solution

Catalyzed reaction in living systems
In living systems, a catalyzed reaction is a physical process such as carbon dioxide dissolving in water.
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without suffering any chemical changes.
The catalyst's primary function is to provide a lower-energy alternate pathway for the reaction.
