SUMMARY
A catalyzer can indeed function as an intermediary in chemical reactions, as evidenced by the Krebs Cycle, where certain intermediates also serve catalytic roles. This dual functionality does not require the catalyst to be consumed in the reaction. Bromine (Br) is mentioned as a potential example of a substance that may act in both capacities within specific reactions.
