When looking at the plot G versus reaction coordinate, the profile for a biological catalyst (e. g. an enzyme) will have transition state(s), with an overall activation energy that is in comparison to the uncatalyzed reaction.

Enzymes have a molecular weight and are compounds, while inorganic catalysts often have a molecular weight and are compounds.

When comparing rates, enzymes are typically several times than inorganic catalysts.

- When looking at the plot G versus reaction coordinate, the profile for a biological catalyst (e.g. an enzyme) will have about the same transition state(s), with an overall activation energy that is low in comparison to the uncatalyzed reaction.

- Enzymes have a high molecular weight and are organic compounds, while inorganic catalysts often have a low molecular weight and are inorganic compounds.

- When comparing rates, enzymes are typically several times faster than inorganic catalysts.

Explanation:

Enzymes are organic molecules capable of producing a faster chemical reaction. In an enzymatic reaction the transition state -corresponding to the state in which the substrates or products are equally likely- tends to be the same, while the energy required for the reaction decreases.

The differences between an enzyme and an inorganic catalyst are structural and functional:

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
