What is the effect enzymes have on reactions in living cells?
An enzyme lowers the activation energy of a reaction meaning that the reaction can occur at a much lower temperature. Enzymes are essential for supporting life, without enzymes the daily reactions that take place within all living organisms could not take place and life would cease to be able to exist.
What do all living organisms need to carry on life functions?
All living organisms use energy to carry out daily functions
What is the significance of enzymes lowering activation energy to drive biological reactions?
Lowering the activation energy allows reactions to take place much, much faster. If uncatalysed, many important reactions would be too slow to support life.
Is metabolism a characteristic of life?
Metabolism is one of the characteristics of life. It is a set of biochemical processes that occur within the cells of living organisms.
Why is the human normal body temperature so much higher than the average ambient air temperature?
The types of chemical reactions needed for human life are atypical of the environment, that is they do not occur naturally in addition, if the human bodies temperature is that same as the environment, it is not converting energy, (efficiently or inefficiently) and is dead. Life requires energy, energy requires heat. All living creatures produce heat of some sort, even if it's just a hundredth of a degree. At zero degrees, no chemical reactions can occur and there is no life.

How do carbohydrates impact your daily life?
they provide us energy for ou daily activities of life. bcz carbohydrates are the instant source of energy..
What are the disadvantages of chemical energy in daily life?
some chemical energy causes pollution
How does heat effect your daily life?
Life runs of sunlight (radiant heat energy) without it you would not have a daily life, indeed no day and no night.,
What are disadvantages of mechanical energy daily in life?
there will be health concerns :(
What do you do in daily life that is related to mechanical energy?
i walk and run everyday
What is the role of potentail energy in your daily life?
potential is basically is the position of your body is it mainly in your life
When will life change?
Life changes daily, sometimes the changes are big and sometimes they are small. Big changes in life normally occur when you turn 16, 18, and 21 and they also occur when you get married and start to have children.
How Does energy affect your daily life?
Kinetic Energy lets you do every thing that you do physically. Kinetic energy is always associated with motion.
Why it is necessary to Lowe rthe activation energy?
It speeds up/catalyzes the rate of reaction. Thus the agents are called catalysts (mainly enzymes and transition metals). The existence of life depends on controlled chemical reactions, and if the activation energy is not lowered then much more energy is required to carry out the reaction. These chemical agents provide a partial substitute for energy because energy has limited availability.
What forms of energy are present in daily life?
Mechanical, thermal, eletrical. motion, sound, light, and chemical energy.
Why are enzymes so vital to life?
Enzymes are catalysts for the various chemical processes in the body. By lowering the activation energy of reactions, these enzymes catalyze the biochemical reactions necessary for life.
