These compounds are called enzymes.
These compounds are called enzymes.
Compounds that help chemical reactions are called catalysts.
Enzymes are the compounds used in organisms to carry out chemical reactions and regulate metabolism. They act as biological catalysts to speed up reactions, allowing essential processes to occur efficiently within cells.
Enzymes.
Organisms use proteins as catalysts for chemical reactions, enzymes to facilitate reactions, and metabolic pathways to break down and build molecules. These processes require energy in the form of ATP to carry out the chemical activities of life.
In a chemical reaction, the reactants are the compounds that undergo a change to form products. These reactants interact with each other, resulting in the formation of new compounds or substances. The products are the compounds that are produced as a result of the reaction between the reactants.
Living things carry out the chemical activities of life through biochemical reactions controlled by enzymes.
Organisms carry out a variety of chemical reactions such as photosynthesis (conversion of light energy into chemical energy), cellular respiration (conversion of glucose into ATP for energy), and protein synthesis (formation of proteins from amino acids). Other reactions include digestion (breakdown of food into nutrients), fermentation (anaerobic breakdown of sugars), and various metabolic pathways (biosynthesis and breakdown of molecules).
chemical reactions
Enzymes are the substances that help chemical reactions occur in the body. These protein molecules act as catalysts, speeding up the rate of biological reactions without being consumed in the process.
This substance makes up the majority of your cells, and is necessary for them to carry out most of their chemical reactions.
Energy is essential for organisms to carry out their life processes such as growth, reproduction, and movement. Organisms need energy to maintain their metabolic functions and to provide the necessary chemical reactions for survival. Without energy, organisms would not be able to sustain life.
