When living things use chemical reactions to break down food some of the energy is transformed into waste or heat?
waste
Why is water good for homeostasis?
Living things need water in their cells. Water is the universal solvent - most of the chemicals a cell needs is dissolved and transported in water. Water is an environment where chemical reactions can occur and water is needed in many of those reactions - like the hydrolysis reaction (needed in the break down of food molecules). If a cell becomes dehydrated chemical reactions slow down. Chemical balance of the cell is changed as waste materials are not removed fast enough, food is not broken down, etc. Water also helps regulate the heat that can build up in a cell during chemical reactions. A dehydrated cell = increase in cell temp. Water content of a cell also affects the pH of a cell environment. Certain reactions occur better at certain pH. Homeostasis is maintaining a balance with the environment. Without water the balance is upset.
What is the process of cell removing large waste product?
peroxisomes. peroxisomes are organelles that collect the toxic peroxides that are the unavoidable by-products of chemical reactions within the cell.
Which of these organic molecules function as catalysts for chemical reactions in living organisms?
Yes, they are called enzymes. Not only do they enhance the rate of the specific chemical reaction, also they do this with "a 100% YIELD" - that is (i. e.) with no waste byproducts! { The True Source of Their Power }
When you eat something did a chemical or physical change just occur?
It's physical when you eat it because it is still the same thing just the shape changed it doesn't turn to chemical until it goes through your digestive system and it turns to waste.
Summary of waste disposal issue including an explanation of some of the chemical reactions that must occur to break down the waste the rates at which they occur and the obstacles inhibit them?
FUNGI?????????

waste
Are chemical reactions useful?
yes some chemical reactions are harmful to us. as digestion of food, photosynthesis, decomposition of organic waste are some examples of the useful chemical reactions.
Metabolism is defined as?
Metabolism is the total amount of chemical processes that occur in living organisms. The process causes growth, energy and eliminate waste.
How does water help an organism maintain homeostasis?

If you don''t eat do you still excrete?
yes as long as you are alive you body will be making waste from chemical reactions. This waste cannot stay in your body or you will develop uremia.
What is cellular waste?
Cellular debris is all the stuff thats left after a cell dies, lyses or undergoes apoptosis.
What are three types of chemical waste?
There are three main types of chemical waste. These include general chemical waste, highly reactive chemical waste, as well as chemically contaminated solid waste.
Does chemical reaction affect living things?
Chemical reactions can be produce waste, byproducts, toxic gaz, that can do harm if not well contained.

A physical change differs from a chemical change in that waste products are formed through chemical changes?
Not necessarily. This only happens in decomposition reactions, where energy reacts to break apart a compound. In, say, a synthesis reaction, sodium and chlorine combine, but don't leave a waste product. A physical change differs from a chemical change in that the product is the same substance, while in a chemical change it forms a/some different substance. Think about ripping a sheet of paper-is it still paper? If you burn the sheet of paper-is it still paper
What would life be without enzymes?
Life is basically little soap bubbles with water and enzymes floating around inside. There is no life, as we know it, without enzymes. Enzymes impact every aspect of life like, energy production, reproduction, and everything else.
