What proteins are vital living thing because they speed up chemical reactions by up to trillion times?
The proteins known as enzymes are vital to living things because they speed up chemical reactions up to a trillion times.
The activation energy for the chemical reaction in living thing is high or low?
It is high because the enzymes in cells speed up the reactions by lowering the energy.
What are the only thing that can separate a compound into its parts?
chemical reactions
Why do living thing use a enzymes instead of heat as a source of activation energy?
Adding sufficient heat would harm or kill a living thing. also enzymes are far more efficient. A single enzyme can often carry out thousands of reactions per second. Living organisms use enzymes for activation energy because they speed up chemical reactions.
