A negative catalyst is added to a reaction to slow down a process as does an inhibitor. From this you could say that they are equivalent.

What is the difference between a homogeneous catalyst and a heterogeneous catalyst?

The difference between a homogeneous and a heterogeneous catalyst is that in a heterogeneous catalyst, it is in a different phase from the reactants. However, in a homogeneous catalyst, it is in the same phase as the reactants.

What happens to the vmax when a competitive reversible inhibitor is added to an enzyme?

The Vmax of the enzyme will remain constant in the presence of a competitive reversible inhibitor. However, the apparent Km will increase as the inhibitor competes with the substrate for binding to the active site of the enzyme, leading to a decrease in enzyme-substrate affinity.


How does the present of a catalyst affect the rate of reactions?

A catalyst can increase the rate of a reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. This allows the reaction to proceed more readily, resulting in a faster reaction rate. The catalyst itself is not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly.


Why is the catalyst made porous?

By making the pellets porous, you maximize the surface to volume ratio of the catalyst, which allows you to use less of it, but get the same effect.


Why is a positive times a negative always a negative?

It might be clearer if you think of it this way: Multiplication is repeated addition. 2 x 3 is the same as 3 + 3. They both equal 6. 2 x -3 is the same as -3 + -3. They both equal -6. In the first case, you are increasing the amount of positive things. The answer will be positive. In the second case, you are increasing the amount of negative things. The answer will be negative.
