Re: catalysts
a catalyst is present before a reaction takes place, as opposed to an intermediate that is present after the reaction takes place.

Re: catalysts
Also, unlike an intermediate which is immediately used right after it's formation, a catalyst only shows up at the very beginning but is used up until the very end of the reaction and it does not interfere or interact with any of the other molecules being formed in the overall reaction.
