Chemical compounds consists of bonds of different chemical elements. For example, table salt is sodium chloride, which is a compound that consists of sodium atoms with chloride atoms, the strong-smelling chemical you find in bleach.
A chemical element, on the other hand, is a chemical made of a single atom. The atom has a shell that contains positive and negative charges, electrons, and other partials depending on the chemical properties. Extremely unstable elements emit a type of energy called radiation, usually in the form of ionizing radiation, the type you find released by an nuclear weapon.

∙ 11y agoA biochemical reaction will be a chemical reaction that is regulated by an enzyme or series of enzymes to turn some precursor into a usable (or voidable) chemical within a life system. An enzyme is a protein that helps to facilitate a chemical reaction.
Often, enzymes will help by speeding up a reaction, although in the case of some rapid, exothermic reactions, the enzyme will limit the reaction to keep heat waste to a minimum.

How do enzymes speed up biochemical reaction?
Enzymes speed up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction.
How do enzymes alter the rate of biochemical reactions?
Enzymes make biochemical reactions go much faster - the rate is a million to a billion times enhanced.
What is the slowing or stopping of an early reaction in a biochemical pathway when levels of the end product become high called?
The slowing or stopping of an early reaction in biochemical pathway when levels of the end product become high is to stimulate electron transport chain. Electron transport chain is a series of linked chemical reactions.
Describe the first reaction in glycolysis Is this reaction catalyzed by an enzyme?
Glucose is phosphorylated to form glucose-6-phosphate. ALL biochemical reactions occur only and exclusively through the action of enzymes.
What does biochemical means?
it refers to a chemical reaction that normally will be performed within a living oranism
What substance is needed to reverse a biochemical reaction?
Redox is what is needed to reverse a biochemical reaction. The redox is used in science.
How yogurt is made is it a chemical or biochemical reaction?
It is a biochemical reaction because of the bacteria. :)
What is meant by light reaction of photosynthesis or light phrase of photosynthesis?
The biochemical reactions involving photolysis of water comes under light reaction. It is infect a chain of reactions commonly known as light phase.
