The Molecular Spillway

a: Catalysis ~
b: lowering the level of a dam

What: Catalysis does not provide energy to the system, but it lowers the threshold energy level needed for a reaction to take place. By analogy, catalysis is like lowering the level of a dam and permitting the water to flow downhill at an increased rate.
