Metabolism
The function of enzymes in living things is to catalyze (instigate, speed up) chemical reactions.
Metabolism
what are the reactions that deal with energy in a living thign referred to as
The activation energy for chemical reactions in living things is typically low compared to non-biological reactions. This is because living organisms rely on enzymes to catalyze reactions, lowering the energy barrier needed for the reaction to occur. This allows for faster and more efficient processing of biological molecules.
Enzymes are proteins that are vital to living organisms because they act as biological catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions by up to trillions of times. They lower the activation energy required for reactions to occur, making them essential for the efficient functioning of various cellular processes.
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.
water is a chemical not a living thing
it is the site for many chemical reactions
it isn't a thing
No. They are just two different terms that mean the same thing.
No, oxygen is an element. Chemical energy is usually the thing that hooks elements into compounds.
Almost all living things have a brain. A chimpanzees brain does the same thing as humans brains, they fire chemical reactions that tell the body how to move, what to feel and etc.
