Catalyst

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to get a heavy piece of furniture across a room, and it's too difficult to move by yourself. Hiring a couple of friends to help lift and slide it across the floor makes the task much easier and faster. In this scenario, your friends are like a catalyst in a chemical reaction; they help lower the amount of effort needed to move the furniture, just as a catalyst lowers the activation energy required for a reaction, speeding up the process.
