Is the activation energy for chemical reactions in living things high or low?
Activation energy of reaction is the same regardless if it is in living organism or in test tube. Yet, the energy of activation can be lowered if catalyst is present. In living things catalyst lower the energy needed for chemical reactions.
Is picking up iron filings with a magnet a chemical reaction?
No, a chemical reaction is when the atoms are not mixed together but chemical bonded together. You know when a chemical reaction has happened when you can smell, hear or see things reacting.
What branch of chemistry is concerned with living organisms?
Chemistry has a few branches that deal with living things such as Biology which is the study of living organisms and others like biochemistry which study the chemical reaction within an organisms.
Why are reactants important in a chemical reaction?
Reactants are added into the equation to form the chemical reaction. Reactants are substances that are changed into products. Without these reactants, there would be no formula, resulting in no product.
If one substance changes color is it a chemical reaction?
Not necessarily. Things sometimes change colors during a chemical reaction, but a color change is not sufficient evidence of a chemical reaction. You can add drink mix to water and the water turns colors, but it is not a chemical reaction, just a mixture.
How do catalysts affect the reaction s in living things?
A catalysts speeds up the reaction in living things.
Substances that promote chemical reactions in living things but not affected by the reaction are?
enzymes
How do enzymes affect the reaction in living things?
Enzymes act as catalysts. They speed up the reaction time.
What are the basic chemical principles that affect living things?
In the 1700s, scientists discovered the chemical and physical basis of living things, and soon they realized that the chemical organization of all living things is remarkably similar. Microorganisms, as forms of living things, conform to this principle and have a chemical basis that underlies their metabolism.
Which term refers to proteins that speed up chemical reaction in living things?
enzymes
What is the basic format of a chemical reaction?
The chemical reaction is caused when things of the environment affect another thing. For example rain dissolves rock over a period of time.
What term refers to protein that speed up chemical reaction in living things?
Enzyme
What chemical reaction inside the cells of living things makes carbon dioxide?
cheese balls
When living things use Chemical reaction to break down some of the energy is transformed into?
Heat........
What are proteins that speed up a chemical reaction in living things?
A catalyst. Definition from Pretence Hall Biology: A catalyst is a protein that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.
What is the function of enzymes in living thing?
The function of enzymes in living things is to catalyze (instigate, speed up) chemical reactions.
How do mountains affect living things?
moutains affect living things
