My book says this:
"In every step of photosynthesis, in every step of cellular respiration, in glycolisis, in citric acid cycle, there is an enzyme associated in order to speed up the reactions."
What is the enzyme in photosynthesis?
What is the enzyme in cellular respiration?
What is the enzyme in the citric acid cycle?
(And what's an "citric acid cycle"?)

-
There is not a single enzyme involved, but a set of different enzymes working of different substrates (reactants). Example in Photosynthesis - RuBisCo, G3P dehydrogenase, etc etc. In cellular respiration - Phosphofructokinase, hexokinase, isomerase, etc etc. In citric acid cycle - Succinate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, mutase, etc etc.
Citric acid cycle is the system of enzymatic reactions to convert acetyl CoA to CO2.
