What is the difference between mitosis and cell division?

Cell division is the process of self-replication of cells, whereas mitosis is the division...

Cell division includes nuclear division and cytokinesis, whereas mitosis consists of four phases;

Both somatic and germ cells undergo cell division, whereas only somatic cells undergo mitosis.

Hope this helps!!

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
