Katalizowanych

Katalizowanych is the plural form of the Polish past participle of the verb katalizować, used as a passive or adjectival form meaning “catalyzed.” It appears in scientific and technical writing to describe reactions, processes, or substances that proceed with the aid of a catalyst, which speeds up the reaction without being consumed in the process.

In chemistry and biochemistry, the concept of catalysis is central. Phrases such as “reakcje katalizowane” (catalyzed reactions) or “reakcje katalizowane enzymatycznie” (enzyme-catalyzed reactions) are common. Catalysis can occur in different contexts, including homogeneous catalysis, where the catalyst and reactants share the same phase, and heterogeneous catalysis, where they are in different phases. The use of a catalyst typically alters the rate and sometimes the selectivity or outcome of a reaction, often by providing an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy.

Linguistically, katalizowanych is a plural inflected form used to agree with a plural noun in certain cases, for example in constructions like “reakcje katalizowanych procesów” (the catalyzed processes). The base verb, katalizować, derives from Greek katalysis, with the term widely adopted in Polish scientific vocabulary to describe catalytic action across chemistry, biochemistry, and related fields.

In summary, katalizowanych denotes catalyzed processes or reactions in plural form and is a standard term in scientific Polish to distinguish catalyzed from uncatalyzed phenomena.
