It depends on the age of the child and the age of the adult. Reaction time in the normal person peeks around the age of 18 and stays fairly constant through their 20s an until they turn 30 at which point it very slowly decays. It decays more rapidly once the adult gets into their 70's on up. From the time a child is 6 years old to 18 their reaction time is basically getting faster and faster but at 6 years old it is typically quite a bit slower. For a single stimulus the RT's are around 450 ms for a 6 yr old and less than 250 ms for an 18 year old.

Are Chemical reactions in cells faster than the same reactions outside cells?
True chemical reactions in cells are faster than the same reactions outside cells. The substance upon which an enzyme acts is called the substrate.
Do you expect the rate of cell division to be higher in an adult or child?
the cell division will be higher in children because they are younger and grow faster than adults.
Active site of enzyme?
The active site of an enzyme is a "slot" where the substrate will fit. This will produce a reaction that will be faster than without the enzyme.
Why does your body use anaerobic respiration?
if you are burning energy faster than the body could supply the oxygen necessary for the normal reaction,. your body does that without the oxygen
Are adults always right?
YESThey AreThey're More FunEnergeticStylishHappyThey Get More Fun In They're LifeThey're Not BossyOr Weird! :DAlso, I have found that adults can tell off children for things adults do, however when adults do whatever they are telling the child off for, it is always considered okay.But kids don't complain! They are cool! They know they are better, so they just let the adults think they are better!

Who has faster reflexes adults or teenagers?
We (not mentioning the exact names) have done a test on who has the faster reflexes and we have come up with an answer. We tested their reflex times by asking 10 students and 10 adults to turn on and off a specific timer as fast as they could. The slower the reflex time ( i.e.- 45) the slower the reflex. The faster the reflex time (19) the faster the reflex. When we tested the adults ( surprisingly) they had MUCH faster reflex times than the kids. Even though you'd think the opposite. The age categories were under 15 (kids) and over 15 (adults) so there's the proof.
Are there more adults or kids in the world?

Yes. Kids lose homework all of the time which explains why kids don't turn in their homework at all or don't turn it in on time.Kids also retain information in their heads more easily than adults. A younger mind is able to pick up and remember things (therefore learn) much easier and faster than adults do.
