The organic compounds that serve as helper molecules in many of the body's chemical reactions are called?
vitamins
A substance that causes or that speeds up a chemical reaction while the substance itself remains unchanged?
catalyst
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.
All of the chemical reactions of the cell are called?
metabolism
When fungi degrade wood from fallen trees the biological process is called decomposition What does it have in common with a chemical decomposition reaction?
The fungi are breaking down the wood of the dead trees to use their chemical products in building its own structure. This process involves chemical reactions by the fungi, which are all forms of chemical decomposition : the formation of smaller molecules from larger molecules.
How enzymes control chemical reactions?
enzymes helps control chemical reactions by the chemical in it called collagen when enzymes enter your body they create a chemical reactions and controls the chemical reactions you get by eating too much acids.
Chemical reactions that take apart molecules?
The chemical process by which molecules are broken down into their smaller components is called catabolism.
Molecules which speed up chemical reactions in cells are called what?
Enzymes
What is the chemical reactions that allow large molecules to be broken apart into smaller molecules by adding water called?
This process is called hydrolysis.
What are the large complex protein molecules that modify chemical reactions?
The large complex protein molecules that modify chemical reactions are called enzymes. Enzymes act as catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They bind to specific molecules called substrates and facilitate the conversion of substrates into products.
The sum of all the chemical reactions involve in building up or breaking down molecules called?
The sum of all the chemical reactions involved in building up of complex molecules is known as anabolism; and the breaking down of molecules is known as catabolism.
What group of biological molecules can speed up chemical reactions by lowering a reactions activation energy?
Biological catalysts are called 'enzymes'.
The organic compounds that serve as helper molecules in many of the body's chemical reactions are called?
vitamins
What are chemical reactions called that kick out water to build bigger molecules?
This is known as Dehydration Synthesis
Molecules which speed up chemical reactions in cells are called?
Enzyme
The diversity of chemical reactions occurring in a cell depends mostly on certain molecules present in the cells which are called?
enzymes
