ENGLISH MEANING<\/p>\n
A substance that speeds up a reaction without being used up.<\/p>\n
In chemistry, a catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction while remaining unchanged at the end. Metaphorically, it describes a person, event, or thing that provokes rapid change or activity. It is special because it works without being consumed, making the process more efficient.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
