Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of an enzyme: Enzymes are biological molecules, typically proteins, that act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions in living organisms.

Recognize the term 'biocatalyst': A biocatalyst is another name for an enzyme because it facilitates biochemical reactions without being consumed in the process.

Clarify the other terms provided: 'Inhibitor' refers to a molecule that decreases enzyme activity, 'Cofactor' is a non-protein molecule that assists enzyme function, and 'Substrate' is the molecule upon which an enzyme acts.

Compare the terms: Among the options, 'Biocatalyst' is the term that directly corresponds to the function of an enzyme.

Conclude that 'Biocatalyst' is the correct answer because it is synonymous with the role of enzymes in biochemical reactions.
